Bibliography not inserting

Post by biotricks »

Sorry new to LaTeX and BiBTeX.

Wrote this:

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{/Users/richardwest/Documents/Dissertation/LaTEX/protocol.bib}
This is what the .bib file looks like

Code: Select all

@article{Smith2012,
abstract = {Epidemiology is an important clinical tool in designing and evaluating management and prevention strategies, and is particularly relevant to neuropathic pain. However, there is a relative lack of accurate information available. In one sense, neuropathic pain describes a symptom or a mechanism, rather than a specific disease; on the other hand, there are sufficient similarities in the effects and response to treatment between different causes to make it worthwhile to consider neuropathic pain as a distinct condition. However, there are important specific disease-based factors that need to be considered separately. Estimates of prevalence that are based on specific causes of neuropathic pain tend to be lower (1-2\%) than those that are based on reports of the classic symptoms (6-8\%), and further methodological research is needed. All neuropathic pain is associated with poor general health, comparable with other severe chronic diseases. The importance of newly proposed risk factors, including genetic factors, still needs to be assessed at a population level.},
author = {Smith, Blair H and Torrance, Nicola},
doi = {10.1007/s11916-012-0256-0},
issn = {15343081},
journal = {Current Pain And Headache Reports},
keywords = {chronic pain,diabetic neuropathy,epidemiology,incidence,knowledge its epidemiology,neuropathic pain,neuropathy,postherpetic neuralgia,prevalence,remains relatively sketchy,screening tools},
pages = {191--198},
pmid = {22395856},
title = {{Epidemiology of Neuropathic Pain and Its Impact on Quality of Life.}},
url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22395856},
volume = {16},
year = {2012}
}

Then the citation command is : \cite{Smith2012}

Help please

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You need to run BibTeX on your document. Either via an editor feature (some editors have a button, menu, or setting for this) or at the command prompt via

Code: Select all

bibtex documentname
Then run LaTeX again, to insert the bibliography. Run it twice to ensure that references are correct.

after this, your bibliography should appear in the .pdf (or whatever output you have)
