Examined with three different editors: TexStudio, TexWorks, and Texmaker, the beamer as will follow, does not generate the bibliography on the References frame. However, compiling the same document in the Overleaf website, works fine and generates the bibliography.

The problems regarding BibLaTeX and BibTeX with beamer, have been addressed perfectly in many online forums, however, this particular one has not been addressed. How could I make any of those editors compile the same code as Overleaf does?

    Overleaf uses latexmk, which automatically executes bibtex or biber: https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/How_does_Overleaf_compile_my_project%3F If you're not using latexmk, you will need to run bibtex or biber separately in TeXworks/TeXstudio/etc, and then run pdflatex again: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/147521/226 – imnothere Sep 18 '20 at 02:33
  • @imnother running biber separately in TexWorks, gives the following error: INFO -This is Biber 2.14,INFO - Logfile is 'InnovationHistory.blg',ERROR - Cannot find 'InnovationHistory.bcf'!INFO - ERRORS: 1. Also, TexStudio has alatexmkoption to compile a file, which did not work for me, and renders this error:Could not start Recompile Bibliography: Latemk: latexmk.exe -pdf - silent=1 "InnovationHistory"."`.. – BMB Sep 18 '20 at 03:28
  • @imnohere Well, the issue is now resolved as follows: 1. deleted every generated files, except the .tex and .bib file.2. compiled.tex file by PDFLateX, 3. compiled.tex file by biber, 3. compiled.tex file by PDFLateX again. Please notice that in step 2, first I compiled.tex file by BibTeX, which did not wrok (error popped up). Then, I did steps 1,2 and 3, after deleting all generated files and it worked fine. – BMB Sep 18 '20 at 04:21
  • @imnothere Do you want to type up a quick answer here, so the question can be marked as resolved? – moewe Sep 19 '20 at 11:36

If you're not using latexmk, you will need to run bibtex or biber separately in TeXworks/TeXstudio/etc, and then run pdflatex again; see e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/147521 or Biblatex with Biber: Configuring my editor to avoid undefined citations
