General ⇒ Multiple Bibliographies Question

[discostews]

Hey,

I have a question regarding multiple bibliographies contained within one Latex document.

The document is relatively short, and as such does not contain a huge number of references, hence i have opted to specify each \bibitem separately and not use bibtex for this particular paper.

My problem is that i need to have two seperate bibliographies in the document, one for the main text, and one for a "sidebar" type section that i have just typed up at the end. I want to have the main text bibliography to have labels such as [1] [2]... etc, and i want the extra sections reference lists and cites to have the format [S1] [S2]... etc.

Does anyone know a method to define this type of citation styling?

thanks!

Hi,

you could proceed, with the help of the multibib packages, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multibib}

\newcites{side}{Side References}

\begin{document}
References to \citeside{sitem2} and \cite{item1}...

\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem{item1} bibitem 1 
\bibitem{item2} bibitem 2 
\end{thebibliography}

\renewcommand{\refname}{Side References}
\begin{thebibliography}{9}
\bibitem[S1]{sitem1} sbibitem 1 
\bibitem[S2]{sitem2} sbibitem 2 
\end{thebibliography}

\end{document}

Brilliant,

That worked out fine.

I had to leave out the \renewcommand line you had in the example, as I am not using the "article" document class. Worked fine without it however.

Thanks for your help.
