BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Why is my BibTeX bibliography empty?

[wuming]

hello

same problem as it is described in:

Post subject: bibliography
PostPosted: Mon Jun 11, 2007 1:12 am

So, when I compile with Bibtex the .bbl file that's created is empty except for the \begin{thebibliography}{} \end{thebibliography} part. If re-compile with Bibtex, even this part disappears!!

Funny thing is that when I first compiled with same style and a default bib sample, references and cite created correctly.

Any workaround?

thanks

ps. And I have not forgotten any ',' or other symbols in the bib entry -- references do not appear not even with a single bib entry --

Hi wuming,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
Can you post your bibtex logfile? (extension .blg)

thanks Stefan

I take it that *.pmf is the *.blg you ask for, though it seems that I am not allowed to upload;
so I upload general log

summary_fin.log

(13.25 KiB) Downloaded 474 times

I can email *.pmf

please let me know

cheers

Thanks Stefan.
It seems that this caused because of citation missing, so when I add \cite it works fine

cheers

the .blg::

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99cThe top-level auxiliary file: summary_fin.aux
The style file: eg-alpha.bst
I found no \citation commands---while reading file summary_fin.aux
Database file #1: yo.bib
(There was 1 error message)

Hi wuming,

you could use \nocite with wildcard:

Code: Select all

\nocite{*}

to add all references even without citing inside the text.
