Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ citation number in the figure captions is not correct

[waterque]

Recently, I try to use latex to complete my thesis using a template that senior student shared with us online. A problem confuses me for a long time.

The citation number is ussorted [\bibliographystyle{unsrt}]. And the numbering of the citation in the maintext is normer, but it is not correct in the figure captions. Although I have citations before the figure, but the numbering starts from the figure caption, and then the other maintext. as shown in the attached figure.
The citations are circled out. In the first citation place in the picture, the number is 11, wheras in the following figure caption, the citation number is 1. This is not what I want.

Would some experts solve my problems, thans a lot in advance.

Hi and welcome,

the photo you linked to contained some ad for a chinese foundation, i removed that from your post.

Without a minimal working example, it is hard to make any suggestions, but i think what you are referring to is the placement of the citation within the list of figures.

You can use package notoccite or use the optional argument for caption \caption[this goes to the lof]{this stays with the figure}.

Thank you for your suggestion. As shown in the picture enclosed, the citation numbers are circled. At the first place, it is 11, whereas in the following figure caption, it is 1. In the normal case, the reference number is also following the previous one.

Please try Johannes' suggestion, and tell us, if it helped.

I think the same. Citations in moving figures (which even go to the list of figures) are a problem.

Thanks all for your kind and nice reply. Yesterday, I found that the thesis template includes listoffigure which also contains the captions in my case. After I deleted this part, it turned out to be okay. Next time I would try Johannes' suggestion.

Thanks all again.
