BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ biblatex | Removing DOI from Reference

[Jack Frost]

Hi all,

I've always used BibTeX, but after reading a lot online about how biblatex is much better, I decided to give it a go. I have installed it, and it works, but the references using [style=authoryear] print out the DOI. I tried to stop this using [style=authoryear, doi=false], but that just brings up the error message:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/biblatex/biblatex.sty:7225:Package keyval Error: doi undefined \blx@processoptions

I've tried using other styles too, and none let me set doi=false. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using Ubuntu and Kile, and the main code is shown below.

Many thanks.
