Inserting citations in Chapters using one bibliography file

Post by ashrit6 »

Hello,

I am using Lyx 2.1.1. I am writing my theses using the Classictheses template. I am quite new to this environment. I have just a single bibliography file and i am using jabref. I want to know how to insert citations in different chapters.

Only in the main file i can see the list of references when i goto Insert -> citations. However, in various chapters i am not able to see the list of references.

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

Hi and welcome,

classicthesis is a rather poorly implemented package. If you are using the whole template, package natbib will be used by default. Getting a bibliography for each chapter is a pain in the ... with the old system (BibTeX and many helper packages) but can be done very smoothly and easy with the modern combo of package biblatex and the bibliography processor biber. You can find more information at the wiki page on bibtex (espeacially biblatex).
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
