Remove the section number at the end of each reference.

Post by Jacko50 »

I'm using the bibliography style IEEETR and at the end of each individual reference it puts the section that the reference appears in:
F. J. DiSalvo, “Thermoelectric Cooling and Power Generation,” Science, vol. 285,
no. 5428, pp. 703–706, 1999. 1.1
How do I remove this? Do I have to modify the BST file or add something in the preamble?

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

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

It depends on how you actually do it. For example, if you use biblatex, you could add the option backref=false to biblatex.

Not sure what you mean by "It depends on how you actually do it". I use natbib.

This is my relevant preamble:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12 pt]{report}%,aps,pra,nofootinbib


\usepackage{float,geometry,amsmath,amsfonts,booktabs,pdfsync,setspace,titlesec,}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage[colorlinks,linkcolor=black,citecolor=blue,backref]{hyperref}
\usepackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}
\usepackage[nottoc,numbib]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{datetime} \newdateformat{monthyear}{\THEMONTH \THEYEAR}

\def\chapterautorefname{Section}
\def\sectionautorefname{Section}
\def\subsectionautorefname{Section}

\begin{document}

\input{thesis_titlepage}
\clearpage

%\tableofcontents
\clearpage
%\listoffigures
%\clearpage
%\listoftables
%\clearpage

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}

\include{thesis_introduction}	
%The following are all under the 'Lit review' chapter
	\include{thesis_theory}
	\include{thesis_applications}
	\include{thesis_materials}
\include{thesis_experimental}
\include{thesis_results1}
%\include{thesis_results-comp}
\include{thesis_results2}
\include{thesis_results4}



\newpage

\renewcommand\bibname{References}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{electroceramics}

\end{document}

You are setting package option backref for hyperref, delete it.
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.

I meant it exactly like this. How should I have guessed before, that you use natbib, and that you use hyperref with backref option. My best guess was backref, but with biblatex, without other information.

Generally, just provide relevant code and we will know enough. ;-)
