BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Double parenthesis

[rolandk]

Hi,

I get double parenthesis in text about references like: (Anyone, (2003)) where it should be (Anyone, 2003)

I use \citep{any03} in text and in thebibliography as below:

Code: Select all

\begin{thebibliography}{}
\citeindexfalse
%
\bibitem[2003]{any03}
Anyone \ 2011, AB, 500, 6

Has anyone a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
Roland

Hi Roland,

welcome to the forum!

Do you have a small but compilable example showing it? (minimal working example) I mean, I can just guess you may be using natbib or a biblatex citep-feature, but I don't know your document preamble.

Hi Stefan, and thanks for your effort,

Yes, I am using natbib, with the same setting in the bibliography that was used for the journal papers, without the double parenthesis trouble. However, it complains after an otherwise successful compilation. It also seems insensitive to what bibliographic style I use from the list below.

Cheers,
Roland
