BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibtex - some references not appearing

[okasha]

Hello,

I'm new to LaTeX and Bibtex and am working on my first document.

I have a problem.

Some of my references don't appear in the reference list of the compiled document (though citations to these missing references do appear in the main body of the document.)

For example, my .bib file contains the following entries:

@article{robson2002
Author={Robson, A.},
Journal={Journal of Economic Perspectives},
Pages={89--106},
Title={Evolution and human nature},
Volume={16},
Year={2002}
}

@book{savage1954,
Author={Savage, L.J.},
Title={The foundations of statistics},
Address={New York},
Publisher={Wiley},
Year={1954}
}

My .tex file contains both \cite{robson2002} and \cite{savage1954}, at the appropriate places.

However, in the reference list, Robson 2002 doesn't appear. Instead, there is simply a citation number, e.g. [2], and then a blank.

I've checked the .bib file, and the .text file many times, and have compiled correctly so far as I know.

Please help!

thank you

It is impossible to tell what the problem could be from the information provided. Could you post a minimal working example?

Your problem may be the one discussed in this thread ... though it was never clear to me exactly what was wrong on Paul's end.

In creating the minimal working example I've found my mistake - which was a missing comma at the end of the '@article' line

Obviously I have a lot to learn...

Sorry to waste your time but thanks for your help anyway.
