I am using a template for my thesis in overleaf and I've been trying to have a seprate bibliography after each chapter using this

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{library}

All the packages are listed below, I know package{biblatex} and package{chapterbib} are not compatible. but everytime I comment biblatex the pdf won't be generatd!

\documentclass[a4paper]{report}

%PhD Thesis Template


\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{ragged2e,array,booktabs}
\usepackage{longtable,tabu}
\usepackage{appendix}
\usepackage{tipa}
\usepackage{clrscode}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[absolute]{textpos} 
\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{chapterbib}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage[draft=false]{hyperref}
\usepackage{changepage}


\begin{document}
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{200mm} 
\setlength{\TPVertModule}{100mm} 
\textblockorigin{61mm}{19mm}


\title{The Thesis Title \will go here when you know it: \a meaningful and succinct phrase}
\author{Your Name Here \
\
PhD thesis\
\


\date{2016}


\include{abstract}


\setcounter{page}{3}


\include{acknowledgements}


\include{license}


\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables


\include{zabbreviations}


\include{intro}


\include{background}


\include{conclusions}


\appendix


\end{document}

in Intro chapter code will be like

\chapter{Introduction}
\label{ch:intro}

text
and then
%% set the bib style
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{library}

I would really apreciate any help

    Can you please extend your example do something others can work with without having to add anything. I would assume that biblatex can do something similar to chapterbib out of the box. – daleif Feb 09 '22 at 14:13

    Don't use natbib and chapterbib with biblatex. They are not compatible. And better don't use the tabu package, it is broken and unmaintained. – Ulrike Fischer Feb 09 '22 at 14:36
  • somehow it workrd now! I just commented the biblatex package %\usepackage{biblatex},, When I did that before pdf won't generated ! thanks both – EA90 Feb 09 '22 at 14:44

You are loading several bibliography/citation-related packages, namely

\usepackage{biblatex}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage{chapterbib}

You even load natbib twice (it is generally recommended to load packages only once as that avoids option clashes and is less confusing for humans reading the code as well).

biblatex is incompatible with the thebibliography/BibTeX-based approach needed for natbib and chapterbib. You cannot load these three packages together.

Since you generate your bibliography with the BibTeX-based approach

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{library}

I suggest you get rid of biblatex. Delete the line

\usepackage{biblatex}

For good measure you may want to delete the .aux file and .bbl before you recompile (delete the Cache in Overleaf https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/Clearing_the_cache).

Refer to bibtex vs. biber and biblatex vs. natbib for a bit of background reading on the whole BibTeX/natbib vs biblatex distinction.
