I currently print my references after the end of each chapter, using:

\usepackage[backend=biber,
    bibencoding=utf8,
    refsection=chapter,
    style=numeric, 
    firstinits=true,
    isbn=false,
    doi=true,
    url=false,
    clearlang=true
]{biblatex}

and 

\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography]

at the end of each chapter.

I would like to have also a chapter at the end of the book with all cited references. How could I do ?

  • Using the numeric style that is a very dangerous idea indeed. There will be a [1] in chapter 1 and a [1] in chapter 2, but they might not necessarily be the same work. What is [1] supposed to be in the cumulative bibliography? – moewe Sep 03 '14 at 15:25

We can use refsegment instead of refsection (read about refsection and refsegment in the biblatex documentation §3.6.5 Bibliography Sections & §3.6.6 Bibliography Segments, pp. 78-79).

Instead of refsection=chapter we pass refsegment=chapter to biblatex, we also issue defernumbers=true (you can find out more about defernumbers on p. 53 of the doc).

We then have to specify the segment in the per-chapter bib manually, but this can be automated with \therefsegment, so the chapter-bibliographies are

\printbibliography[segment=\therefsegment,heading=subbibliography]

The full end-document bib is created by

\printbibliography

MWE

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[backend=biber,
    bibencoding=utf8,
    refsegment=chapter,
    style=numeric, 
    firstinits=true,
    isbn=false,
    doi=true,
    url=false,
    clearlang=true,
    defernumbers=true,
]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\chapter{Ch 1}
A citation \cite{wilde}.
\printbibliography[segment=\therefsegment,heading=subbibliography]

\chapter{Ch 2}
And another one \cite{cicero}.
\printbibliography[segment=\therefsegment,heading=subbibliography]

\printbibliography
\end{document}

  • hi. Thanks, this almost works. In my thesis, defernumbers messes up the numerotation. It starts at 57 for some reason... If i remove it, its seems ok. I don't get the documentation for this option. – Napseis Sep 03 '14 at 22:06
  • @Napseis I used defernumbers to get [1] in the first chapter and [2] in the second. Otherwise it would have been [2] in the first and [1] in the second. As far as I understand defernumbers makes sure an entry gets a number the first time it is printed in a bibliography. Note that with refsection the numbering was local and confined to one refsection (i.e. a chapter) while refsection applies global numbering. – moewe Sep 04 '14 at 06:02
  • hum, I understand the same thing from the doc. And this is desirable, in fact, but not if it starts from some random number. Thanks anyway. – Napseis Sep 04 '14 at 09:36
  • @Napseis I'm only speculating here, but that may be because of the sorting in the bibliography, maybe a sorting=none to the global options might help there. But if it works for you without defernumbers and you notice no adverse effects, I guess it's not absolutely necessary to investigate further. If you are interested in a solution though (I know, I am), you could ask a new question with a short MWE that shows the issue (maybe not with 57 entries, probably better 3, 4 or so). – moewe Sep 04 '14 at 14:40
  • according to here, http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/163611/biblatex-problem-with-defernumbers this is a bug. I don't have Texlive 2014 in Fedora 20,so I will wait.. – Napseis Sep 18 '14 at 14:24
