Hi there,

I am using Masters/Doctoral Thesis template and I found it a great one. But I'm facing a problem with the bibliography which does not show up. I have a .bib file and I follow the procedure to run it (PdfLaTeX + BibTeX + (2) PdfLaTeX) but nothing appear and there is no error message.

I had cited in Chapter1.tex and then I include it in main.tex, when I clicked run the citation appeared as the key reference in bib file and no bibliography showed up at the end of the file.

I want my bibliography to include all the reference from all the chapters at the end of the document.

*Note: I tried using BibTeX with an ordinary document( not a template) and It worked.

I really appreciate any help.

Thanks

Please show us the log and blg files of the unchanged template.

Thanks for your speedy reply. I didn't understand what do you mean by "unchanged template", before I edited?

You said without the template, you get a bibliography. So it might be an error with the template or some system setup.
Or you changed something while writing your text and introduced some mistakes.
I wanted to know if something with your setup is dodgy, before sending you off to find the mistake in your code, which will takes some time.

In short: Download the template once more, do a compile chain as normal and post the final resulting log and blg files.

When I downloaded the template again as you said the bibliography appeared in the PDF file before I compile, after I compile it disappear. I didn't find blg file.

Did you run BibTeX and then LaTeX (two times)? The blg file will only be created after BibTeX was run.

yes, from configuration I choose the Quick build to be (PdfLaTeX + Bib(la)TeX+ PdfLaTeX (2x) + view Pdf ) and I compiled

but when I chose (PdfLaTeX +view pdf) and compile ( LaTeX > BibTeX >LaTeX (2)) I got an error ( couldn't open file name `buildmain.aux')

This looks like an editor error message. Did you get a LaTeX error message? Can you please post the .log file of that run here, as attachment? (See the "Attachments" tab below the edit field when writing.)

This looks like LaTeX in DVI mode, that is different. You used LaTeX instead of pdfLaTeX, the other run was correct.

Check your editor settings. Are you trying to use a build directory? Don't. They don't have merits. All they do is bring confusion to users.

yes and it says '' LaTeX Error: File `Figures/Electron' not found.''
