Wierd Bibliography entries - like 'N.d.a', 'N.d.b' etc

[Lindsay Smith]

I have a medium size document with about 5 pages of references in the
bibliography.

At the top of the bibliography, however for over a page, are these
entries:

N.d.a

N.d.b

N.d.c

N.d.d

.
.
.

all the way to N.d.v.....

I can't even tell which entries are causing this.... can anyone tell
me why these appear?

Thanks in advance

not the slightest idea. i imagine you're better placed to identify
the problem than any of us: _you_ know what citations you made, what
bibliography and citation styles you were using.

i would recommend trying to construct a document that's the smallest
possible that causes the effect -- there are two ways to do this: (a)
start with what you've got and start hacking ... when the effect goes
away, the last thing you hacked away is plainly related to it, and (b)
build up a document from scratch, adding things from your troublesome
document ... again, the transition identifies a problem.

all of this is pretty straightforward stuff; perhaps it takes a person
obsessed with faqs to bother to suggest it?

Thanks, I'll start the manual process of working out what is causing
it. Just needed to know whether it was some well-known behaviour of
Bibtex that I wasn't able to track down on the net.

For anyone having this problem, I believe it is to do with entries that were in the .bib file that have now been removed. For me it caused these entries (n.d.a)... as well as the appearance of entries which had been removed from the .bib file.

To fix it, I deleted the associated .bbl which was then regenerated next time the document was compiled.

Hope this helps :)

It may be documents by the same author and without a date: no date a, no date b... no date v.

N.d. tends to mean No date
