BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ How to make two bibliographies with apacite package ?

[tullio]

Hi! I'm trying to solve a big problem which is the following: I have to make a bibliography with apacite package and need to have two separate bibliographies : one is for the references cited in the text, the other one is for the whole list of the books I read. But I don't really know how to do it. This is a MWE :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside=semi,footinclude=true,headinclude=true]{scrbook}
\usepackage[numberedbib,nosectionbib]{apacite}
\begin{document}
...
\bibnewpage 
{\raggedright 
\bibliographystyle{apacite} 
\bibliography{mabiblio}}
\end{document}

Thanks for your help!

Using package multibib:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{domiMain.bib}
    	@article{cc,
    		author= {Crazy Capybara},
    		year= {2015},
    	}
    \end{filecontents}
    \begin{filecontents}{domiAnnex.bib}
    	@article{bb,
    		author= {Busy Bee},
    		year= {2015},
    	}
    \end{filecontents}
    \documentclass{article}
    \usepackage{apacite}
    \usepackage{multibib}
    \newcites{annex}{Annex Stuff}
    \bibliographystyle{apa}
    \begin{document}
    \section{usual stuff}
    \nocite{*}
    \bibliography{domiMain}
    \appendix
    \section{other stuff}
    \nociteannex{*}
    \bibliographystyleannex{apa}
    \bibliographyannex{domiAnnex}
    \end{document}

I've just try to follow your indications, but I failed. My annex bib file isn't recognized as you can see it in this new MWE :

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}    
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}
\usepackage[numberedbib,nosectionbib]{apacite}
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{annex}{Références complémentaires}
\begin{document}
\section{Partie argumentative}


\cite{Abram2001}




\section{Conclusion générale}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\bibliography{domiMain}

\appendix
\section{Références complémentaires}

\nociteannex{}
\bibliographystyleannex{apacite}
\bibliographyannex{domiAnnex}
\end{document}

What you posted is not an MWE, becausse the databases are missing. If you are using the databases that were generated by my MWE, the cite keys obviously don't match. The case of the appendix does not have an asterisk in the argument of nocite, so will fail as well.

Please test the example as posted above and show us the log file.

Sorry, i missed an s. We also need to see the log file (blg) of the BibTeX runs.

[tullio]

Good morning and happy new year!
Please, what do you mean by "missed an s" ?
This is the blg file :

You also have to run BibTeX over annex.aux, which is generated by mulitbib. This is explicitely explained in the manual.

[tullio]

OK. It works! Thanks so much for your help! Do you think it can work with Xelatex too since I use this latter to compile my classic thesis ? I'm going to try it and tell.

[tullio]

I took time to understand what did not work finally and it seems that I have got two problems.
First, I cannot use the \cite{} command when it's about to mention an author and a book in the body of the text. For instance, if I write something like : "comme l'a écrit \cite{Abram2001}...", I obtain the following result : "comme l'a écrit (Abram2001, Abram2001)...".
Second, my main bibliography does not contain only the references cited in the text: it contains also the entire file of my references. Thanks for your help.
