At the end of my paper I would like to create two separated lists of references, since I prefer to distinguish usual book references from the references of pictures I included.

I already tried several ways, but mostly they are only appropriate for bibliographies in certain sections.

Current situation:

I have two different files

  • thesis.bib contains the book and journal references I used for my text
  • figures.bib contains the references, where I found the images used in the paper

At the moment I get the "Bibliography" by writing

\usepackage{natbib}
\bibpunct{[}{]}{,}{a}{}{;}

at the beginning of my document and

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}Bibliography}
\bibliographystyle{alphadin}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{thesis}

at the end of it. However, if I want to include a "References of Figures" the same way, it just adds another copy of the previously listed "Bibliography".

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\numberline{}References of Figures}
\bibliographystyle{alphadin}
\nocite{*}
\bibliography{figures}

So how can I add the list of "References of Figures" after the normal bibliography?

  • Welcome to TeX SX! Could you consider using biblatex? It uses the notion of bibliography by categories to filter what is printed. – Bernard May 07 '18 at 19:38

    Welcome to TeX.SX! You tagged your question with biblatex. The biblatex package is completely incompatible with natbib. Was the inclusion of the tag an oversight or are you open to switch to biblatex? Please clarify your question accordingly (i.e. remove the biblatex tag if you don't want to switch, or add a short statement that you would consider switching to biblatex). Note that switching to biblatex would mean that you can not continue using the alphadin style. ... – moewe May 07 '18 at 19:40
  • ... If you want to stick with natbib, you may want to look into https://ctan.org/pkg/bibtopic, https://ctan.org/pkg/multibib, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/multibbl, https://www.ctan.org/pkg/splitbib – moewe May 07 '18 at 19:41
  • thanks for your answers. I wasn't aware of this incompatibility and would also consider using biblatex, if it provides a convenient solution for the problem.

    I guess first I will also look for possible solutions in the provided links.

    A biblatex solution will in all likeliness be slightly simpler than the other solution, but that comes at a cost of switching your entire bibliography set-up from natbib to biblatex with Biber. (Background natbib vs biblatex.) You will not be able to use alphadin and will have to find another style that you like. If you find no style that you like, you will have to go into the business of customising biblatex - while that is easier than customising BibTeX it is still work. – moewe May 07 '18 at 20:08

    The biblatex solution for you current set-up is at https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/35279/35864. You can add a keyword to your entries depending on which file they came from. Then you can filter your bibliographies with \printbibliography[notkeyword=figures,title={Real bibliography}] and \printbibliography[keyword=figures, title={}References of figures}] – moewe May 16 '18 at 12:56
  • Thank you! Meanwhile I could solve the problem with multibib. – F K May 17 '18 at 14:26
  • Please write down an answer and accept it if you could solve your problem (you have to wait a certain time to be able to accept your self-answers, but that is fine). That helps future visitors with the same problem. – moewe May 18 '18 at 08:21

I could solve my problem with multibib. At the end I had two different bibliograhies:

  • Bibliography (which contained all referces I used in my text)
  • References of Figures (refers to figures)

This is how it is done:

\usepackage[resetlabels,labeled]{multibib}
\newcites{Fig}{References of Figures}


\begin{document}

\bibliographystyleFig{alpha}
\bibliographyFig{figures}

\bibliographystyle{alpha}
\bibliography{thesis}

\end{document}

In the document write

\cite{---}

to cite books, articles etc. for the text, and

\citeFig{---}

in order to create references to figures.
