Hi,

...

I am having trouble with the bib module. The bibliography section of my article contains references that I have not cited in the text. These are in my .bib file, but it seems to me that references that were not cited in the text were ignored when constructing the bibliography.

Hi, When you add

\nocite[Aucremanne2005] \nocite[Fabiani2007]

before \section{References} these non cited publications will show up in your bibliography. (At least it does here with Minimals of 24 november)

... which is the way it should be, no? The problem of the original poster is that these entries should not appear in the bibliography despite being in the .bib file, because they aren't mentionned at all in the main text. I can confirm this issue. I have run into myself in typesetting my thesis. Taco, if it can help you track down the bug, IIRC, this problem appeared sometime around beginning of October, though the bib module of previous versions of mkIV had other bugs that made it unusable (such as sorting by author not working). Also, there is another bug in the bib module, which i find very strange. If we augment the OP's .bib file with two more entries, and cite those, then one of them does *not* appear in the bibliography despite being cited. It also creates a big blank in the bibliography. Here's a minimal example. bib file attached. In my real thesis bibliography (over 200 entries), there are several such entries missing and several big blanks of varying sizes in the Bibliography section.

There seems to be some problem. Let us first cite \cite[Aghion1991], then we will cite \cite[authoryears][Trefler1993]. In the new para we cite: \cite[Segal2003] Now let's cite two more articles: the old \cite[reynolds:defints1972] and the new \cite[reynolds:defints]. \section{References} \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext
