BibLatex problems

Post by gloednieuw »

Hi,

I have a problem with making my references show up using BibLatex. First, please bear with me if I made a very stupid mistake; it's my first time using Latex.

I made a .bib-file with some references, but when I'm trying to cite these references, the citation only shows the ID instead of the actual citation and the bibliography won't print either.

My MWE looks as follows:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{thesisbib.bib}

\begin{document}

lalala \cite{BEH03} citation

\printbibliography

\end{document}
This is the bib-document:

Code: Select all

@proceedings{BEH03,
editor = {Paul Boersma and Paola Escudero and Rachel Hayes},
title = {Learning Abstract Phonological from Auditory Phonetic Categories: An Integrated Model for the Acquisition of Language-Specific Sound Categories},
date = {2003},
eventtitle = {Proceedings of the 15th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences},
eventdate = {August 3-9 2003},
pages = {1013-1016},
}
But whenever I compile my document, I get the warnings that my citation is undefined and that my bibliography is empty. Oh, and I use TeXstudio.

Thanks!

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Very good and minimal Working Example.

I guess you just missed to process the bibliography. Somewhere in TeXstudio should be a button called biber. The workflow should be pdflatex, biber, pdflatex (simplified).

A remark: The date-field has the wrong formatting. Please consult the biblatex-documentation for more information.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
