I'm writing my master thesis and besides scientific articles I want to cite one URL from the web. However, when I attempt to do that, my latex compiles all the cite sources besides the one that has an url.

I followed this tutorial: https://engineering.purdue.edu/~mark/puthesis/faq/cite-url/

However, no luck, the text above that is in my "Cite.bib" file doesn't get shown, only other cites.

@misc{Senn:2009,
      title  = "Using {\LaTeX} for Your Thesis",
      author = "Mark Senn",
      url    = "http://engineering.purdue.edu/~mark/puthesis",
      year   = "2009 (accessed February 3, 2014)"
    }

Also, I tried the top comment from this example but it doesn't work, everything compiles and nothing happens...

How can I use BibTeX to cite a web page?

    Did you make sure you cite the entry in your document (or use \nocite{})? Did you run LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX after you added the entry to the .bib file and cited it? It is possible that your bibliography style does not fully support online references (not all styles know the url field for example), but that should not stop the entry from appearing in the bibliography at all. In any case you have a much better chance of getting a good answer quickly if you can tell us more about your bibliography setup in the form of a short example document (https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228) – moewe Aug 01 '20 at 13:00

    EWhich bibliography style do you employ? Do you employ a citation management package, e.g., cite or natbib? – Mico Aug 01 '20 at 13:01
  • @moewe I didn't cite it in the document, I just want that is generally listed in the citing part. I use \bibliographystyle{plainnat} – JohnDemo Aug 01 '20 at 16:15
  • It works now when I cite in the document, but I want it to work without citing... This is the example that is working: @misc{WinNT, title = {{MS Windows NT} Kernel Description}, howpublished = {\url{http://web.archive.org/web/20080207010024/http://www.808multimedia.com/winnt/kernel.htm}}, note = {Accessed: 2010-09-30} } – JohnDemo Aug 01 '20 at 16:17
  • If you don't want to cite the entry, use \nocite: \nocite{Senn:2009} adds the entry to the bibliography, but does not cite it. If you want to add all entries in your .bib file to the bibliography without actually citing them, use \nocite{*} instead. By default BibTeX only adds cited entries to the bibliography. – moewe Aug 01 '20 at 18:02
