How can I import bib File to Latex? - latex
I'm new to using Latex. I want to import File reference.bib to my File document.tex. Above is my Code reference.bib #article{lin1973, author = "Shen Lin and Brian W. Kernighan", title = "An Effective Heuristic Algorithm for the Travelling-Salesman Problem", journal = "Operations Research", volume = 21, year = 1973, pages = "498-516" } And here is my document.tex \documentclass[a4paper,12pt, fleqn]{scrreprt} \usepackage{natbib} \begin{document} \bibliographystyle{plainnat} \bibliography{reference} \end{document} But nothing happens when i run my Latex. Can anyone help me. Thanks in Advance ^^
There is a separate platform to ask latex-related questions. apart from that, the question is really vague. let's start with your document having no content. assuming that your latex environment has been set up properly, adding something to your document should do something. compile, run bibtex twice, compile again a few times and you should be set. edit: removed screenshot output file, as it was needlessly taking up space. bibtex build is usually found in your interpreter: \documentclass[a4paper,12pt, fleqn]{scrreprt} \usepackage{natbib} \begin{document} blablabla happened because i need to cite \cite{lin1973}.. \bibliographystyle{plainnat} \bibliography{reference} \end{document}, apsrev4-1 error: file ended while scanning use of \#secondoftwo, latex and bibtex: command to print a single full reference from a bib file, latex and multibib, glossaries package and footnote in latex, how to order citations by appearance using bibtex.

Creating a .bib file
Hi everyone!
I'm working on a paper and trying to use bibtex for the first time. I'd just like some clarification on one thing: when the bibtex site says "Just create a plain text file and apply what has been explained in section BibTeX File Format," does that mean a plain text file in notepad?
Essentially, do I use notepad and save as .bib or have I missed something.
Yes, you can do that. It is basically just a text file. However, I recommend using a good BibTeX editor to create that file for you. It makes life a lot easier. I use JabRef .
yes, notepad yes, just save as .bib instead of .txt
or ... if you're running OS X just get BibDesk
BibDesk is fine, but since JabRef is cross platform I switched over to that. Now it's the same everywhere, which is nice since I'm on Windows at work.

Is it possible to include a .bib file inside another one?
When I started writing documents I decided to use a single .bib file in the main document directory. Each document would be created in a subdirectory and terminate with
I now realize that this might not have been the smartest choice, as my .bib file is growing considerably.
In an attempt to avoid being forced to fix all my .tex files, I would like to know if it is possible to include other .bib files (e.g., one for articles, one for book, one for urls, etc.) from inside the "main" one.
Or if you have other suggestions that would avoid me such tedious (but probably deserved) task.
The short answer to your question is no. As @daleif mentioned in the comments, the .bib file format doesn't have an input-like function or field. The .bib file format is just a series of field identifiers, such as @BOOK and @ARTICLE , as well as the @PREAMBLE and @STRING fields. The documentation for the actual bibtex postfix language doesn't make any mention of an input function either (as far as I can find). It seems that bibtex is hard-coded just to fetch the bib data from the .aux file, so the only way for a document to access references over multiple .bib files is to specify them as a comma-separated list in the argument of \bibliography .
The only solution I can suggest for your problem is to write a short script that will perform a search and replace of \bibliography{../biblio} with \bibliography{file1,file2,etc} . How to do this depends on the tools you have available on your computer. For example, on a Unix-like system, you could probably combine find with sed . For a more platform-independent approach, a scripting language, such as Perl, could be used.
However, if you're simply finding it cumbersome to edit a large .bib file in a text editor, you may prefer to use a reference manager such as JabRef.

For citing sources using BibTeX, you should use \cite{...}, and when you don't cite any sources, you get an error message like this:! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.See the LaTeX manual
The file is produced by BibDesk. As you see, in the following example all the first letters of the field names such as Author, Booktitle, and so on, are capital
Latex only lets you have a relative or an absolute path when importing a bib file, so you may have something like. Is it possible to call a url instead? I'm using natbib and Texmaker if that makes a difference
If the two bib files are in the same place then then \bibliography{/Users/prinelo/Desktop/Database/mylib,/Users /prinelo/Desktop /Datab ase/ mylib2} should work, it is also possible to put them in a standard place in the search path
