BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Multiple bibliographies sectioning

[puch7524]

Is it possible to change the bibliography to appear as a section in the main part of a book document and to appear as a subsection in the appendix part of the book? Note that I am using multiple bibliographies, one for each chapter and one for each appendix.

Welcome, that depends mainly on what you are doing. Can you show us a minimal working example that shows us exactly how you are setting up the bibliographies?

I think the most simple way to achieve that is using package biblatex.

I don't know if it's appropriate to provide the sample as a zip file, Sample.zip. In any case, it's attached. The sample folder contains 6 sources files:

1) Sample.tex - the main document (book document style)
2) One.tex - included file (Ch. 1)
3) Two.tex - included file (Ch. 2)
4) AppA.tex - included file (App. A)
5) AppB.tex - included file (App. B)
6) Sample.bib - the bibliography file

I have also attached the PDF file generate so you can see that to look proper, in the table of contents the bibliography in the appendices should be formatted as subsections. Thus, my question. How do you do it. I have been unable to figure it out.

I found no easy way to do it with chapterbib. You could do a feature request, i doubt that there will be a solution provided though. The appendix is noch a chapter of your work. The appendix is build of the last chapters in your work that hold additional information. You really should use proper chapters after \appendix.

Unfortunately the chapter formatting is not appropriate for each individual appendix based on my publisher's requirements.

Alternative approach:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[final,10pt]{book}

\usepackage[title,titletoc]{appendix}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{chapterbib}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]{\bfseries\Huge}{\thechapter}{10pt}{\Huge\bfseries}


\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname A.tex}
\chapter{Pogo Penguin}
\nocite{Paper1,Paper2}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Sample}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname B.tex}
\chapter{Dixie-dancing Ducks}
\nocite{Paper3,Paper4}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Sample}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname C.tex}
\chapter{Walzing Wombat}
\nocite{PaperA,PaperB}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Sample}
\end{filecontents*}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname D.tex}
\chapter{Salsa Snake}
\nocite{PaperC,PaperD}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{Sample}
\end{filecontents*}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents

\include{\jobname A}
\include{\jobname B}

\appendix
\titleformat{\chapter}{\bfseries\large}{\thechapter}{10pt}{\large\bfseries}
\titleformat{\section}{\bfseries}{\thechapter}{10pt}{\bfseries}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Appendices}
\appendixpage
\include{\jobname C}
\include{\jobname D}

\end{document}

Thanks. I will consider the alternative.
