Bibliography

Post by layuval »

Hello everyone,
From some reason Latex is stuck every time I'm trying to produce bibliography.
After hours of working I seek for your help
I have attached the bib file and the tex file.

Thanks for all the help!

If you are writing a scientific report, it is (much) better to use the modern combo of bilatex and biber.

In your example, you are using a file extension for the name of the database. Since BibTeX can only handle one kind of database, the ending is omitted and it is assumed that the ending is bib, hence a bibtex database.

On the other hand, you are using a bibliographystyle that is called natbib. A package is called that name, but no bib-style. You have to use a bibstyle that actually exists.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

Use \bibliographystyle{plain} or start from scratch, i don t really have any clue what you want to do.

I understand that. In your initial post you state that the code is failing for some strange reason, as if it would have worked before. But it never would have worked, since there is no valent bibliographystyle given. Package cite should not be used with package natbib (see warning). You haven't given any indication if you have removed the file extension, you did not say if plain worked (it won't). Try apacite instead, that will give you references in apa-style. I assume that this is what you want.
