Question

I am using following test program in texmaker

For e.g.

\documentclass[english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
  hello\citet*{greenwade93}
\bibliographystyle{plainat}
\bibliography{bibliography}
\end{document}

And the entry in bibliography is

@article{greenwade93,
author  = "George D. Greenwade",
title   = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
year    = "1993",
journal = "TUGBoat",
volume  = "14",
number  = "3",
pages   = "342--351",
year = "2004"
}

when i build bibtex and pdflatex then the output is just “hello?” (no errors/warning in texmaker). Then i ran “pdflatex test” it shows

Package natbib Warning: Citation `greenwade93' on page 1 undefined on input lin
e 8.

And then “bibtex test” shows

I couldn't open style file plainat.bst

I checked in miktex package manager natbib package is installed, all 3 ntabib bst files are in C:\Program Files (x86)\MiKTeX 2.8\bibtex\bst\natbib folder.

Answer 1

The .bst file you want is called plainnat. Yours is missing an n. Try:

\bibliographystyle{plainnat}
