References show as question marks (Bibtex and Latexian)

Post by da908 »

I am using Latexian to compile the pdf. When I compile the pdf I get question marks instead of references as well as no bibliography produced (just a title and an empty page). My document looks as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{report}

%Packages
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

%Title page
\title{SEM}
\author{xxx}
\date{\today}
\maketitle

%Content
\section{SEM}
	
	\subsection{Theory}
		\subsubsection{What is SEM?}
		
		\begin{figure}
			\begin{center}
				\includegraphics[keepaspectratio=true, width=8cm] {SEMold}
				\caption{"Stereoscan" Mk 1 prototype (Stewart and Snelling 1965) \cite{Oatley}}
			\end{center}
		\end{figure}

\section{Practical}
\cite{UniofG}
	\subsection{Adjustments and focusing}
		\subsubsection{Focus}
		\subsubsection{Beam allignment}
		\subsubsection{Astigmatism}

	\subsection{Artefacts}
		\subsubsection{Charging}
		\subsubsection{Beam damage}
		\subsubsection{Contamination}

\nocite{*}
%Bibliography
\bibliography{Bibliography}{}
\bibliographystyle{plain}		

\end{document}
And my .bib file is in the same directory:

Code: Select all

%% This BibTeX bibliography file was created using BibDesk.

@article{Oatley,
	Author = {C. W. Oatley},
	Journal = {J. Appl. Phys.},
	Number = {1},
	Title = {The early history of the scanning electron microscope},
	Volume = {53},
	Year = {1982}}

@url{UniofG,
	Author = {http://www.gla.ac.uk/},
	Date-Modified = {2013-02-07 09:59:26 +0000},
	Institution = {University of Glasgow},
	Title = {SEM interaction volume},
	Year = {2012}}
The log file is also attached. I used export option as well as trying to change the number of passes and enabling Bibtex in Preview, but all leads to the same result. If someone could tell me what am I doing wrong, that would be grand...

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Use \bibliographystyle before \bibliography. If this doesn't help, check if a .blg file has bee produced and post this as attachment. Btw. the plain style doesn't define @url.

Thanks for quick reply. Tried switching /bibliography and /bibliographystyle, no luck. I have also tried removing either of the references and it still doesn't work.

Have a look into this .blg log file:

Code: Select all

I couldn't open database file Bibliography.bib
---line 6 of file TSWLatexianTemp_000053.aux
 : \bibdata{Bibliography
 :                      }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no database files---while reading file TSWLatexianTemp_000053.aux
The file Bibliography.bib could not be found. It's not in that directory, or the name doesn't match. Note, the name is case sensitive. Ensure that the .bib file name exactly matches the name for the bibliography you specified in the .tex document.
