@misc files not appearing

Post by Dave010 »

I'm working with a document of the following form:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{amsart}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{latexsym,amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amsthm,graphicx}

\begin{document}

MY DOCUMENT HERE

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{citations}

\end{document}
No matter what I do, I can't get two of my references to appear. I get what looks like the following:

[1]
[2]
[3] working fine from here on

I have pics though I can't seem to add attachments. I do have the two entries in my citation file. They look like this and they are the only two links of the form misc:

Code: Select all

@misc{sloane,
      AUTHOR = {Paul Barry , Mar 22 2003 Lookup | Welcome | Wiki | Register |},
       TITLE = {The {O}n-{L}ine {E}ncyclopedia of {I}nteger {S}equences},
HOWPUBLISHED = {\href{http://oeis.org/A081567}{A081567}},
       MONTH = {},
        YEAR = {},
        NOTE = {Second binomial transform of F(n+1).}
}

@misc{unifsloane,
      AUTHOR = {N. J. A. Sloane .},
       TITLE = {The {O}n-{L}ine {E}ncyclopedia of {I}nteger {S}equences},
HOWPUBLISHED = {\href{http://oeis.org/A001519}{A001519}},
       MONTH = {},
        YEAR = {},
        NOTE = {a(n) = 3*a(n-1) - a(n-2), with a(0) = a(1) = 1.}
}
I'm not into any fancy stuff, and figured the \href commands were causing me problems, so I switched one out for the following:

Code: Select all

@misc{sloane,
      AUTHOR = {Paul Barry , Mar 22 2003 Lookup | Welcome | Wiki | Register |},
       TITLE = {The {O}n-{L}ine {E}ncyclopedia of {I}nteger {S}equences},
HOWPUBLISHED = {A081567},
       MONTH = {},
        YEAR = {},
        NOTE = {Second binomial transform of F(n+1).}
}
This didn't help at all, and gave me the same blankness after the [1] and the [2]. I did remember to save the bibtex and do the usual latex-bibtex-latex-latex sequence I need to get the links to work. Again, all links work but these two. I don't need anything fancy, but I would like something to appear. Can anyone help me with something like this? I have a very low level of TeX ability.

Works for me:

Code: Select all

pdflatex file.tex
bibtex file
pdflatex file.tex
With this example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{amsart}
\usepackage[british]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{latexsym,amsfonts,amssymb,amsmath,amsthm,graphicx}

\begin{document}

MY DOCUMENT HERE \cite{sloane}, now the other~\cite{unifsloane}.

More text here.

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{citations}

\end{document}
By the way, if you do not cite something, it will not appear in the bibliography.

Thank you so much for taking the time to check for me. I found the problem, and it was something else in my citations file. Thanks again.
