BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Compiling LaTex bib source

[csx]

I am writing my thesis (thesis.tex) in Latex, and I have the references in an own reference.bib file which look as follows

@Article{xxx,
author = "D.A. Reinhard",
title = "Case Study",
year = "1985",
}
and I reference them in my main document as \cite{xxx}

I am using Texworks on Windows. After compiling the bib to generate a bbl, when I compile then thesis.tex with: pdflatex +MakeIndex + BibTex, I am able to see the pdf of 'thesis', but I do not see the Bibilography section at the end and do not see references to the bibliography, not even question marks instead of the proper references to the bibliography.

I include the bibliography by typing

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain} 

and

Code: Select all

\bibliography{"C:/Users/reference"} 

at the end of thesis.tex

I then tried pdflatex + bibtex + pdflatex + pdflatex. When I tried that, the 'References' section shows up at the end, but I do not see the references (such as

Code: Select all

1. Reinhard, D.A. Case Study

). I also do not see the citation in the paper

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks!

Hi csx,

welcome to the forum!

You can post attachments to forum posts. So please post the generated .bbl file and the generated .bbl file here, as attachments. The latter is the Log-File which contains informations, warnings and errors regarding the bibliography.

You could alternatively copy relevant snippets of those files here into the text. The chance to fix it is just higher, the more information we got.

I think there's an error which prevents proper BibTeX compilation, you and we just did not see the error message yet.
