Multiple Bibliographies

Post by rtitaly »

Hi everyone!

I'm working on my dissertation and I'm facing the following issue (the document class is set to 'book'). I have one main document and two 'child' documents. Each child is a separate chapter.

In each child document I want a different bibliography. I use Jabref (Bibtex) and I created 2 files.

Then, in each child document I inserted the bibliography pointing to the specific Jabref file I previously created. When I generate the PDF from the child documents the chapters look OK.

However, when I generate the PDF from the main document the links (citations) in the second child document are broken and instead of having the second bibliography, Lyx puts the first bibliography in the second chapter as well!

Is this a known bug?

Many thanks in advance!

P.S. I'd love to upload a MWF but I guess it is a little hard in this case..

You should use a package that's designed for multiple bibliographies, such as chapterbib or multibib. I used a slight modification of chapterbib for my own dissertation, and it worked quite well.
