I am using Cambridge template to write my thesis. I added a section for list of publication and tried to have the reference section in each chapter rather than for the whole thesis. I used the command 

\PassOptionsToPackage{sectionbib}{natbib}

and always get 'undefined citation'.

I already uploaded the project on the Overleaf website and it works perfect there, but on my own computer I got the citation problem. This is the link for my project: https://www.overleaf.com/read/jzgpmgsgbhtj

when I run the bibtex I got this error message

I got this when i run bibtex

    Probably you need to be running bibtex locally (overleaf will do this for you automatically) in addition to (pdf)latex, take a look at Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number. – Dai Bowen May 08 '17 at 15:29

    It would be much better to use biblatex to have a bibliography per chapter. The template supports biblatex by default, you just have to trigger the use. – Johannes_B May 08 '17 at 15:44

    Since the project works on Overleaf it is very likely that on your machine you forgot to run BibTeX. See Dai Bowen's link. Since your project does not use biblatex but natbib I have retagged your question. – moewe May 08 '17 at 16:17

    Off-topic: Your version of the template is badly outdated. Some bugs have been fixed in the meantime. – Johannes_B May 09 '17 at 04:58
  • Do you mean I need to download the template again? if yes, is it in the same website ? – Thoalfukar May 09 '17 at 13:03
  • Please, Is there any way to send you the project or its link? – Thoalfukar May 09 '17 at 13:10

    All updates have been made upstream, i don't know if Krishna pushed them to the online compilers. It is always better to use a template directly instead of using templates from online compilers. They (online compilers) rely on updates by the template author, and they often forget to push updates. – Johannes_B May 09 '17 at 16:09
