I've written my LaTex file completely and used all my references, but no reference is displayed at the end of file. Wherever I've used a reference within the text, a question mark is displayed and nothing is displayed at the end. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

    Are you using bibtex to compile your .tex file? The compilation cycle is pdflatex yourfile, bibtex yourfile,pdflatex yourfile, pdflatex yourfile . –  Aug 21 '14 at 03:59

    Could you show us a MWE please and explain how are you working on your references. – Aradnix Aug 21 '14 at 04:00

  • Thanks for you answers Aradnix--- I don't know what a MWE is. Can you please tell me about it? Harish--- if you mean the style of references, it's natbib.sty; but references are in a .bib file – Soorena Aug 22 '14 at 06:25
  • A MWE is a fully compilable document including \documentclass{} (\begin{document} and \end{document}) and the appropriate packages that illustrates the problem. – skpblack Aug 23 '14 at 17:25
  • \documentclass{article} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{subfigure} \usepackage{natbib} \usepackage{algorithm} \usepackage{algorithmic} \newcommand{\theHalgorithm}{\arabic{algorithm}} \usepackage[accepted]{icml2013} here: \icmltitlerunning{CGA} \begin{document} \twocolumn[ \icmltitle{CGA} \icmlauthor{Soorena} \vskip 0.3in ]

    \section{Introduction} RIA and PMA are used RBDO approaches. Inner loop of these approaches consider different reliability analysis problems\cite{Aoues2010}. \bibliography{REF} \bibliographystyle{natbib}

    \end{document}

  • and this is the cited article: @Article{Aoues2010, title = {Benchmark Study of Numerical Methods for Reliability-Based Design Optimization}, journal = {Structual and Multidisciplinary Optimization}, volume = {41}, number = {2}, pages = {227-294}, year = {2010}, author ={Y. Aoues and A. Chateauneuf} } – Soorena Aug 25 '14 at 02:43
  • hope that the above comments are helpful to make my question clear – Soorena Aug 25 '14 at 02:48

The problem is in the line \bibliographystyle{natbib}, although you're using the natbib package, that isn't actually the name of any of the available bibliography styles. Try using \bibliographystyle{plainnat} to get it working.

You'll find further information here http://merkel.zoneo.net/Latex/natbib.php, which shows the different options for \cite and some of the available bibliography styles. If in doubt consult the full natbib docuumentation http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/
