BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography does not appear

[Davidislm]

Hello !

I'm doing a report with LaTeX (my first one). I use TeXShop (Mac OS). I have found many solutions on forums and so for many problems. But there is a last one which seems to not be solved by my skills. I made a .bib file with Zotero.

But it seems impossible to incorporate it in my Tex file. I mean I thought that it was quite easy and that I just have to put bibliography on the right place like

Code: Select all

\bibliography{bib}
\bibliographystyle{style}

I compile my source file, then run BibTeX and then twice compile my source again. But impossible to get my bibliography. I mean, nothing appears!

Even when I use a basic Tex file like this.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{geometry} % see geometry.pdf on how to lay out the page. There's lots.
\geometry{a4paper} % or letter or a5paper or ... etc
% \geometry{landscape} % rotated page geometry

% See the ``Article customise'' template for come common customisations

\title{}
\author{}
\date{} % delete this line to display the current date

%%% BEGIN DOCUMENT
\begin{document}

\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\section{}
\subsection{}

\bibliography{bib}
\bibliographystyle{plain}

\end{document}

I'm wondering if it is not a problem with my bibliography database file but I do not know how can I check it.

Thank you.

Hi,

welcome to the board!

Did you cite anything? If not, there would not be bibliography entries. You could try

Code: Select all

\nocite{*}

to force all bibliography entries to be printet, no matter if cited or not.
