    <p>I am helping a colleague with his PhD thesis and we need to present the bibliography at the end of each chapter. </p> <p>The question is: <strong>does anyone have a minimal working example for this case using latex+bibtex?</strong></p> <p>The current document structure that we use is the following:</p> <pre><code>main.tex chap1.tex chap2.tex ... chapn.tex biblio.bib </code></pre> <p>Where <code>main.tex</code> contains packages, document declarations, macros and <code>\include</code>s for each chapter. <code>biblio.bib</code> is the <strong>only</strong> bibtex file (I think is easier to have all citations in one place).</p> <p>We have searched and tried with different latex packages, reading and following their documentation. Specifically, bibitems and chapterbib. </p> <p>bibitems successfully generates <code>bu*.aux</code> files, but when running bibtex for each one of them, an error occurs since there is no <code>\bibdata</code> element in the <code>.aux</code> file. </p> <p>chapterbib also generates a <code>.aux</code> file, but bibtex finishes with an error caused by using multiple <code>\bibliography{file}</code> in the <code>.tex</code> files (one per chapter).</p> <p>Some coworkers suggested using a separate bibtex file for each chapter, which could be a problem of maintenance in the future when citing the same publications in different chapters.</p> <p>We will like to continue having this document structure, if possible. So, if anyone could shed some light to this problem, we will appreciate it.</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <hr> <p><strong>Update: MWE found</strong> Thanks to Habi for the help, here is a working example:</p> <p>With the document structure mentioned above:</p> <pre><code>% main.tex \documentclass{report} \usepackage{url} \usepackage{natbib} \usepackage{chapterbib} \begin{document} \include{chap1} \include{chap2} % other chapters ... \end{document} % chap1.tex \chapter{one chapter} text~\cite{paper1} text~\cite{paper2} % don't forget: \bibliographystyle{plainnat} \bibliography{biblio} % chap2.tex \chapter{another chapter} text~\cite{paper2, paper3} % don't forget, again: \bibliographystyle{plainnat} \bibliography{biblio} % biblio.bib @Article{paper1, author = {John Smith}, title = {A title}, journal = {A Journal}, year = {2010} } @Article{paper2, author = {John Doe}, title = {A paper}, journal = {Another journal}, year = {2009} } @Article{paper3, author = {Yuppie Networking}, title = {My paper}, journal = {The best journal}, year = {2000} } </code></pre> <p>Finally, to generate the document:</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash latex main.tex for auxfile in chap*.aux do bibtex `basename $auxfile .aux` done latex main.tex latex main.tex </code></pre>

    1. COIf you'd like to create a working example, I believe this stuff is built in to TeXnicCenter, a windows IDE for TeX documents.

    2. COchapterbib's issue could be solved by putting a \bibliography in main.tex only, could it not?

    3. COI would swear that we've done this before...and after *much* searching I find http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2503555/using-latex-how-can-i-have-a-list-of-references-at-the-end-of-each-section. Whew. No shame to the OP for not finding *that* duplicate.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
