White space above Bibliography

Post by Piano Man »

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to reduce the two inches or so of white space that appear above the 'Bibliography' title to fit all the references on one page.
Here's what I've got:

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{}... etc
...
\end{thebibliography}
I'd usually use negative vspace to remove white space, but I don't know where to put it in this case.
Any help would be appreciated.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

White space above Bibliography

This is my workaround.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\bibname}{} %hide the title
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
		\vspace{-3.75cm} %add your
		distance to the top of the page
	\item\textbf{\huge Bibliography}
		%make a fake title
		\vspace{0.5cm} %choose
		your distance to bibitems

		\bibitem{}... etc
		...
\end{thebibliography}
