General ⇒ bibtex doesn't work with revtex 4 ??

[juliette]

Hello,
Does bibtex not work with revtex4 on texnicCenter ??

my .bib file has the same name as my .tex file and is in the same folder. The .bib file is just:

@Article{05Wang,
author = {Y. Wang, J. Michael},
title = {Analysis of topological manifolds},
year ={2005},
journal = {Bioinformatics}
volume = {17}
pages = {429-437}
}

And to reference the article in my .tex file I wrote \cite{05Wang}

The TexnicCenter compiler says:

:\citation{05Wang
:}
I'm skipping whatever's left of this command
I couldn't open database file filename.bib


What's going on here ??

Post a full example of what you are doing. It looks like the file name you are supplying for \bibliography is wrong.

first, texniccenter does not come with an own tex/bibtex/latex-compiler; it uses what you've set it to use.

second, your bibtex-entry is not well-formed. after every but the last attribute-value-pair you need a comma. however, the last three pairs are not comma-separated. here is a corrected entry:

Code: Select all

@Article{05Wang,
author = {Y. Wang, J. Michael},
title = {Analysis of topological manifolds},
year ={2005},
journal = {Bioinformatics},
volume = {17},
pages = {429-437}
}

third, you need to instruct the tex-program to use your bibtex-file. to do so, include a "\bibliography{./myBibFileWithoutExtension}" line to your tex-document.
