BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Biblatex - why does the bibliography not appear

[alexmccarthy]

Hi all,

Could you please help. I am writing my dissertation. I'm nearly done but struggling to include my references. I am using WinEdt (book). When I compile latex, bibtex and latex twice again my bibliography still does not appear (it is on the table of contents though). Also when I run bibtex I get an error messages:

Code: Select all

Command Line:   bibtex.exe "Project_main"
Startup Folder: C:\Users\Alex Uni\Documents\Third year\PROJECT\LATEX
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 2.9 64-bit)
The top-level auxiliary file: Project_main.aux
I found no \citation commands---while reading file Project_main.aux
I found no \bibdata command---while reading file Project_main.aux
I found no \bibstyle command---while reading file Project_main.aux
(There were 3 error messages)

Hi Alex,

welcome to the forum!

Use \addbibresource instead of \bibliography, such as

Code: Select all

1
\addbibresource{biblio.bib}

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And use \cite commands, to let cited references appear. If you want to let appear all references, even if not cited, use \nocite{*}.

Hi and welcome,

also, and more importantly, you need to run biber (not BibTeX) on the basename of your main file.

We should also mention, that addbibresource{\filename.bib} needs to go to the preamble.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Btw. what Johannes said is because biber is the default backend for biblatex, in newer versions. You could still change to the older Bibtex, but biber is more recommendable.

Welcome,

the suggestions are above. Please show us your blg-file.

[ujur007]

I am having the same issue since many days... attaching the .blg file.. cold you please help?

[Ijon Tichy]

Without a minimal working example I would speculate that you are using biblatex and should configure the editor to run biber instead of bibtex. If I'm wrong, please show us a minimal working example.

Hi,

Here is my exact latax code. I tried to configure both biber and bib latex in the build option of textstudio

Run LaTeX here

[Ijon Tichy]

Yes, you should run biber. Please configure your editor to use biber (← this is a link, please follow it).

BTW: The shown code was not complete, because you have used external files with \input and an external bib-file we do not have. For a minimal working example with bibliography and biblatex the usage of bibliography database biblatex-examples.bib is recommended, because it is part if biblatex and therefore available with all TeX distributions. If a problem is part of a particular bib-file, you should add this.

And please note, that extension .tex is not optional for \input, because several modern TeX implementations are able to read files without extension and use .tex only as a (compatibility) fallback. For \include extension .tex indeed should be omitted, because LaTeX adds the extension on its own (and also extension .aux to read and write another auxiliary file).
