Make a new Chapter containing just a Section

Post by jpsw »

In my thesis table of contents, I would like to have my References as a 'section' (i.e. not a chapter), so as to be consistent with the front matter (List of figures, List of tables, etc.), which are all sections.

The problem I have is that the following code adds References as a section within Chapter 3. Is there a way to start a new chapter before References without it printing a new chapter heading in the TOC?

Code: Select all

\include{chapter1}	

\include{chapter2}

\include{chapter3}

\newpage
\bibliographystyle{rsc}
\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\bibname}
\bibliography{main}
Thanks for any suggestions with this.

Logically it belongs to chapter 3, because it's a section which follows chapter 3. I would use a chapter containing it. i.e. an appendix chapter, introduced by \appendix.

Thanks Stefan, but I need to use appendix for my actual appendix. I thought there might be some way to invoke a new chapter, or maybe end the previous one, so that the section is in its own "chapter", just like the sections at the start of the document.

Try if \backmatter before the bibliography solves this. Some templates support that.
