Bibliography Reference Numbers not appearing

Post by batigol19 »

Hey everyone, I'm not quite sure if the title of the topic is clear but here's my problem.

I've created a .bib file containing all the needed references that i will use in my thesis. I ran the code as follows latex, bibtex, latex, latex. The citing in the text has been executed correctly. Ex:

"performances when given certain input[1] ".

In my Reference page, all the references cited in my paper are there but my problem is that I was expecting that all my references in the reference page will be numbered. The problem is none of my references are numbered. What am I doing wrong here? I've tried several bibliography styles and none seem to work.

A visual example of what I want :

How my reference looks now

" Mike Johnson. Simulations, Prentice Hall, 1999. "

I want it like this and all the rest of my references

" [1] Mike Johnson. Simulations, Prentice Hall, 1999. "


Here is my code where i declare the bib package,style, and file.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper, 12pt, dvips, oneside]{book}
\usepackage[headings]{fullpage}

\title{Basic Computer Architecture}
\author{Mostafa El Sayed Hatem Badrawy}

\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage[numbers]{natbib}
\usepackage[center]{caption}
\usepackage{url}


\begin{document}
\bibliographystyle{unsrturl}
\pagenumbering{Roman}
\setcounter{page}{1}

\include{TitlePage}

\include{Acknowledgments}




\tableofcontents
\clearpage


\pagenumbering{arabic}

\include{Introduction}

\include{BackgroundInformation}

\include{ObjectModeling}

\include{ProposedSolution}

\include{Summary}


\setcounter{enumiv}{ 1 }
\bibliography{Paper}

\end{document}

natbib

I have the same problem in latex. My refernce page is not showing any number. It shows me everything except the numbering. Could you explain how did you solve this issue?

natbib and apacaite basically do the same thing. I suggest to use the more modern alternative biblatex in conjunction with the bibliograpy processor biber to do the job.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I have a similar, may be very easy to find question:
I use bibunit for references at the end of each section.
All fine, but in the text the references with their numbers given in the reference-list just show up as (?). What is my mistake?
I do
latex test.tex
latex test.tex
bibtex bu1
bibtex bu1
bibtex bu2
latex test.tex
latex test.tex
latex test.tex
dvips test
ps2pdf test.ps
testy.bib
