Separate continuous per-chapter bibliography

Question

I am using LaTeX with the Masters/Doctoral Thesis Template (latextemplates.com) for writing my Thesis.

Let us suppose that the author has published a few papers on each chapter. Our University has the requirement to include a list of those papers at the end of each chapter. The items need to be numbered as [A1], [A2], etc., and the numeration to be continued in each chapter.

Then, at the end of the Thesis, a full list of all authored publications has to be places, followed by a list of all references in the Thesis.

I have some modest experience with LaTeX and did not manage to accomplish this by merely looking through the various related posts online. I found this, but the accepted solution seemed a tad unclear to me.

Hence, I would like to ask this as a question here.

Here is how a sample output should look like:

1 Aster

Reference [A1,A2] states that in [ 1],

Per-chapter Author References

[A1] CTAN. The Comprehensive TeX Archive Network. 2006. url: http : / / www.ctan.org (visited on 10/01/2006).

And here is a MWE, taken from here:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,defernumbers=true,refsection=section]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
\section{Aster}
\cite{ctan,sigfridsson} and some text
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,resetnumbers=false]
\section{Begonia}
\cite{aristotle:physics,markey}
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,resetnumbers=false]
\section{Cichorium}
\cite{westfahl:space,baez/online}
\printbibliography[heading=subbibliography,resetnumbers=false]
\end{document}

Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

First off, you need refsegments and not refsections since you want to be able to use the same entry in the entire document and have it referred by the same name throughout. The per-section bibliographies can be filtered with the segment key.

Due to the split nature of the author bibliography it is surprisingly difficult to get the labelprefix right. Usually labelprefix implies resetnumbers, but we don't want that here, so we have to fake it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber, defernumbers=true, sorting=none, refsegment=section]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\makeatletter
\define@key{blx@bib1}{fakeresetnums}[]{\toggletrue{blx@resetnumsexplicit}}
\define@key{blx@bib2}{fakeresetnums}[]{\toggletrue{blx@resetnumsexplicit}}
\makeatother


\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{appleby,
  author  = {Humphrey Appleby},
  title   = {On the Importance of the Civil Service},
  date    = {1980},
  keywords = {author},
}
@book{appleby:2,
  author  = {Humphrey Appleby},
  title   = {On the Importance of the Civil Service II},
  date    = {1981},
  keywords = {author},
}
@book{appleby:3,
  author  = {Humphrey Appleby},
  title   = {On the Importance of the Civil Service III},
  date    = {1981},
  keywords = {author},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\begin{document}
\section{Aster}
\cite{ctan,sigfridsson,appleby} and some text
\newrefcontext[labelprefix=A]
\printbibliography[fakeresetnums, heading=subbibliography, segment=\therefsegment, keyword=author, title={Author Bibliography}]

\section{Begonia}
\cite{aristotle:physics,markey,appleby:2}
\newrefcontext[labelprefix=A]
\printbibliography[fakeresetnums, heading=subbibliography, segment=\therefsegment, keyword=author, title={Author Bibliography}]

\section{Cichorium}

\printbibliography[keyword=author, title={Author References}]
