Mendeley and .bib generation

Post by fabadia »

Working with a LaTeX template, after generating and importing a bib file from Mendeley when I \cite{reference} I GET an error message and a question mark where the reference number should be. How do I have to generate the bib file so that the template work fine with it?

Please tell us that error message.

If you like, you could show us the bib file (or post as attachment here). It could also help to tell us, which template you use, even if it's just a link where we can see and download it.

Generally, most problems are easily solved when somebody manages to create a Infominimal working example, which reproduces the problem. Sufficient information usually guarantees a solution.

solved! I did not realized I had to direct my reference in the LaTeX doc to the right Mendeley.bib file I previously uploaded
Anywhere after the text there should be a line:
\bibliography{Mendeley}
indicating which is the .bib file to find the reference

Many thanks!!
