BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography as a section from different files

[philalou]

Hi all,

I'm currently struggling at using each of my bibliography files for the thesis I'm compiling as being separate sections in each of my chapters and having showed in my table of contents. In addition the bibliography as soon as it is compiled, shows on a separate page.

I tried to build a minimal example out of this and hopes that shows everything I need to.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{achemso}
\usepackage[super,sort&compress,comma,sectionbib]{natbib}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\chapter{}
\section{Introduction}
blablalbalablalbal \cite{alvarez}
\section{References}
\bibliography{Bibliography/chapter1-refs}

\chapter{}
\section{Introduction}
blablalbalablalbal \cite{ambat}
\section{References}
\bibliography{Bibliography/chapter2-refs}



\end{document}

and finally my refs in each file:
chapter1-refs.bib

Code: Select all

@article{alvarez,
   author = "Alvarez-Pampliega, A. and Lamaka, S. V. and Taryba, M. G. and Madani, M. and De Strycker, J. and Tourwé, E. and Ferreira, M. G. S. and Terryn, H.",
   title = "Cut-edge corrosion study on painted aluminum rich metallic coated steel by scanning vibrating electrode and micro-potentiometric techniques",
   journal = "Electrochimica Acta",
   volume = "61",
   number = "0",
   pages = "107-117",
   year = "2012",
}

and for:
chapter2-refs.bib

Code: Select all

@article{ambat,
   author = "Ambat, Rajan and Aung, Naing Naing and Zhou, W.",
   title = "Evaluation of microstructural effects on corrosion behaviour of {AZ}91D magnesium alloy",
   journal = "Corrosion Science",
   volume = "42",
   number = "8",
   pages = "1433-1455",
   year = "2000"
}

Sorry for the late reply, do you require to use package achemso? Achemso loads package natbib itself, this constricts you to use biblatex, which would be very useful here.

[philalou]

Yes the achemso style is required. Unless it is possible to obtain a similar format using biblatex.

Authors, Title, Journal name in italic, Year in bold, Volume in italic, pages.

[Johannes_B]

The author of achemso is also the maintainer of biblatex-chem, providing a style chem-acs, which covers most of American Chemistry Society Journals.

By the way, please add \bibliographystyle{achemso} to your classical set. You will note a difference to the style you described above.

Thank you Johannes.

This is a very helpful tip. I was not aware of this package and its availability with bib latex.

Is the bibliography needs to be loaded as you have? Or can I add a file in my tree that can be loaded? How can I do this?

Another thing I'm wondering is related to my initial query and has to do with the table of contents.

In your example, the table of content as each chapter listed as separate entities with one section each. My question is the following.
How is it possible to make each references list at the end of each chapter appear as a section which would show up in the table of contents?

This may be very simple but I have still not figured it out.

[Johannes_B]

The table of contents business is very simple indeed. I defined a bib-heading using starred sections. They are unnumbered and don't go to the toc by default. If you want it numbered, just remove the star. If you want an unnumbered section to go to the toc, use package unnumberedtotoc. It provides addchap and addsec for unnumbered chapters and sections.

Your first question, i am sorry. I don't understand what you are asking for. Please try to be a bit more verbose.
Ah, i think i know what you mean. The filecontents environment is very handy for testing stuff, it gives a helper a bit of comfort.
The bib-database is loaded with \addbibresource. You can savely remove the whole filecontents stuff.
