.bib file not recognized in TexShop 3.4 on Lion OS X

Post by michaeldzjap »

Hi there,

I am trying to include a .bib in a Latex document, but for some reason the bibliography and citation don't show up when typesetting. I'm using TexShop 3.4 on Lion OSX (10.7.2). The contents of my .bib file:

Code: Select all

@phdthesis{bB06,
	author = {Bal\'{a}zs Bank},
	title = {Physics-based Sound Synthesis of String Instruments Including Geometric Nonlinearities},
	school = {Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Department of Measurement and Information Systems},
	year = {2006}
}

@article{jB03,
	author = {Bensa, Julien, Stefan Bilbao, Richard Kronland-Martinet, and Julius O. Smith III},
	title = {The simulation of piano string vibration: From physical models to finite difference schemes and digital waveguides},
	journal = {J. Acoust. Soc. Am.},
	volume = {114},
	number = {2},
	pages = {1095--1107},
	year = {2003},
	month = {August}
}
and then in my .tex file:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx, amssymb, amstext, amsmath}

\begin{document}

...

\cite{bB06}       % when typesetting this just gives [?]

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio}

\end{document}
I have placed the .bib in the same folder as my .tex file and both of these files are in a folder on my desktop. Can anybody shed some light on why this doesn't work perhaps?

Thanks
