Latex referencing with bibtex is not working

[Vinay Shekhar]

I am not sure what i am doing wrong, but i can't seem to get the referencing to show up. I am using the book format and my main report file is built from a series of smaller .tex files for each chapter.

I have created a file called mybib.bib, which contains all the references, and i have cited the sources in the document using \cite[p. 21]{citename}.

But when i run the document the space where the citation is supposed to be appears with: (? ?, p. 21)

We are required to use the APA referencing system, and i have installed the APA citation style file.

This is how i am calling the bibliography in the main document:

%inside the main report file
\newpage
\bibliographystyle{apacite}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{References}
\bibliography{mybib}

Could someone tell me what i am doing incorrectly, and how i should go about correcting it.

Thanks
Vinay

You need to run BiBTeX on your document (just the name, not the tex extension) and then run LaTeX again.

Excellent. It would be very useful to those of us who write and edit documentation if you could say where you looked for information about using BiBTeX. Some of the documentation has bits missing, which is why you might not have found the right explanation, and if you could point us at where you looked, we can see if the documentation can be updated or made clearer.

I had tried reading the following .pdf files:

LaTeX Tutorial - Jeff Clark

It was my fault primarily, cause i didn't realize that this document was not referring to BIBTeX, but rather the LaTeX bibliography function. Still thanks so much for the assist.
