BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Undefined reference in Citing refworks refrences

[netman]

Hi

I am very new to latex and it is the first document I am creating with latex.
I am trying to cite the references I have from my refworks account.

1. I exported my references in .bib file -> references.bib
2. I added the following in my .tex file:
   

   Code: Select all

   \begin{document}
   
   my text .... \cite{RefWorks:62}
   
   \bibliographystyle{alpha} 
   \bibliography{references}
   
   \end{document}

3. here is what I have in references.bib:
   

   Code: Select all

   @book{RefWorks:62,
   	author={A.M. Feldman},
   	year={1980},
   	title={Welfare Economics and Social Choice Theory},
   	publisher={Kluwer Academic},
   	address={Boston}
   }
   

After compiling the file, I receive:

Code: Select all

Citation `RefWorks:62' on page 1 undefined

and there is [?] in my generated pdf

I followed the instruction I found about referencing refworks in Latex but i am not sure why references don't show up.

I will appreciate if you can help me.

Thanks

You need to run/call bibtex on you main file (without extension). There will definitely be a button in your editor, but it is unknown to us.

Question mark instead of citation number

please forgive me if i did not understand you correctly.
I am using texmaker and after editing my file, i use the menu bar to build (tools/quick build) the file.
i assumed when i build the file, it will run the bib file as well.
is there any other step i should take in texmaker to run the bib file?

Go to tools and run BibTeX or press the F11 button on your keyboard.
