\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multibib}

\newcites{publi}{Publications}

\begin{document}
blalalalalal \cite{uschold96}
blalalalallala \citepubli{dutot07}.

\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{These}

\renewcommand{\refname}{Publications}
\bibliographystylepubli{plain}
\bibliographypubli{These}

\end{document}

But only the first reference (uschold96) appears. The compilator can’t find the second citation. i d’ont konw why.
Than you for your help!

1. ‘bibtex: command not found’ tells me that bibtex is not in your path (i.e a list of directories that it searches for commands). On my system bibtex is in /usr/texbin, and it seems to have been set up automatically when I installed MacTeX — it will depend on what distribution you are using. If you’re using MacTeX too, you could always type /usr/texbin/bibtex instead of just bibtex.

2. You wouldn’t use ‘bibtex workingpaper.tex’ because bibtex can’t understand the tex file. Instead, you’d do ‘bibtex workingpaper.aux’ or, even easier, just ‘bibtex workingpaper’.

3. Finally, with natbib, you don’t actually use the name of the document (as you would normally do with bibtex), but the name of the different bibliographies. I.e., the names you have used in the \newcites command. So in my example in this post, I have

\newcites{pri}{Primary sources}
\newcites{sec}{Secondary sources}

So I would then do ‘bibtex pri’ and ‘bibtex sec’, and not use the filename at all.

Good luck …

What i understood is that texshop isnt just working from the getgo, just i like it usually does. i just don´t know how to manually run bibtex.
if my file is called workingpaper.tex, shouldn´t i just open the MAC OS X terminal got to that directory and type bibtex workingpaper.tex ?? if i do so i just get bibtex: command not found.

anyway the system is running, texshop compiles everything usually.
i also tried itexmac, but i couldn´t get it to typeset.

-> the best way for me would be to keep texshop. I just need a little more help with the terminal running bibtex thing…


\bibliographystyle{/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/qje.bst}


I do something similar myself, as it happens. As for why the way you tried it didn’t work, I think it’s because LaTeX has these index files all over the place (named “ls-R”) and any file you add won’t be listed in them it won’t know where they are. There’s a way to force a refresh of the index files, which I can’t remember off the top of my head. But it’s probably not a good idea to keep such 3rd-party files inside the LaTeX distribution tree anyway, it might get overwritten by an update or something. I just keep mine in a folder in my home directory and specify the path as above.

Hope this helps!

Very helpful comments so far! But I have one additional question: I’m using MacTex with BibDeskt and TextMate. After a long search through the web I found a .bst file according to my needs (The Quarterly Journal of Economics) but do not know where to store that file. I found (all?) pre-installed .bst files in “/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/bibtex/bib/” so I droped the qje.bst in the same folder (under “economics” but also tried “harvard”).

I followed the instruction from the .bst file and therefore included the following lines:

\usepackage[square]{harvard} \bibliographystyle{qje}
\newcounter{forroman}
\usepackage{ulem}
\newcommand{\asroman}[1]{
\setcounter{forroman}{#1}
\Roman{forroman}
}

Now, TextMate does tell me that it cannot find the qje.bst. So, how do I make it to find the correct qje.bst?

Hoping anyone of you has already done that trick and can help me out!

Thanks a lot!
