Question

This might be too specific, but I've been trying for hours so I'm just going to try my luck: I'm trying to make a submission to SAGE however their compiler seems to be unable to recognize the .bib files. Any reason why this might be happening and how to fix it?

MWE

The MWE project files along with the log obtained from SAGE can be downloaded from here.

\documentclass[Afour,sagev,times,doublespace]{sagej}

\usepackage{moreverb,url}


\usepackage[colorlinks,bookmarksopen,bookmarksnumbered,citecolor=red,urlcolor=red]{hyperref}


\newcommand\BibTeX{{\rmfamily B\kern-.05em \textsc{i\kern-.025em b}\kern-.08em
T\kern-.1667em\lower.7ex\hbox{E}\kern-.125emX}}


\def\volumeyear{2016}


\begin{document}


Dummy text \cite{ahad2011}


\bibliographystyle{SageV}
\bibliography{bibliography.bib}


\end{document}

What I've tried

According to the ScholarOne Manuscript Author Guide, there are sometimes errors with the .bib files:

ScholarOne Manuscript Troubleshooting

So I tried doing exactly that using

  1. \usepackage{filecontents} as suggested by Amphipolis here,
  2. the filecontents* environment as suggested by egreg here,
  3. and even tried the \endinput approach as suggested by TH. here

to no avail.

Any help will be much appretiated.

    You can use the same procedure as, e.g., for arXiv, which is to include the already compiled bibliography in your document. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/329198/how-to-obtain-and-use-the-bbl-file-in-my-tex-document-for-arxiv-submission for an example. – Marijn Sep 16 '21 at 18:44

    @Marijn Wow, amazing comment, the answers there gave me a path to follow: actually I am using Overleaf so clicking on "Submit>arXiv" and downloading the project then replacing the \bibliography{bibliography.bib} with the contents of the new .bbl file worked like a charm!! – Hans Sep 16 '21 at 20:48
