I download the contents of the els-cas-templates LaTeX files here, extract it into a new folder.

  • I firstly open up the pdf document and check the references are displaying correctly, before re-compiling (which they are).
  • I next open up the cas-dc-template LaTeX file.
  • I select the compilation options to PdfLaTeX + Bib(la)tex + PdfLaTeX (x2) + See PDF.
  • I then run the PDFLaTeX compilation and click see PDF.

Now the references have changed to [? ] [? ? ][? ? ] and I get the warning for the references as follows Citation Fortunato2010' on page 1 undefined`.

I have tried changing the \bibliographystyle{cas-model2-names} to a harvard referencing style and plainnat etc. but still get the same issue.

Any reason after downloading the template my compilation is not finding the references? They appear in the pdf document after downloading it so they have been able to compile correctly on a different computer.

    Have a look at the .blg file. What does it say? – moewe Mar 06 '21 at 14:59
  • No .blg file gets created... I am using Windows 10 with Texmaker. In the folder where the files are I do not see a file with the type .blg. – user113156 Mar 06 '21 at 15:10

    Note that Windows 10 may classify .blg files as "Performance monitor files" or some such and may hide their extension. The .blg file is a simple text file you can open with any text editor. If there is indeed no .blg file, that means you did not run BibTeX. You need to run BibTeX as explained in https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/63852/35864, so that a full compile sequence is LaTeX, BibTeX, LaTeX, LaTeX (where "LaTeX" is your favourite flavour of LaTeX: pdfLaTeX, LuaLaTeX, XeLaTeX). – moewe Mar 06 '21 at 15:13
  • Thanks! running BibTex and then running PDFLaTeX seems to have solved the issue. – user113156 Mar 06 '21 at 15:17
