I need two bib-like sections: a "References" giving works explicitly cited in my text, and a "Bibliography" (or "Further reading" if you prefer) giving everything from my bibfile that didn't already appear in "References". The first is of course completely standard, but the second... I'm stumped.

Further loose constraints: I'm somewhat committed to biblatex and the biblatex-apa style. But I'll happily accept an answer not related to them if there's any chance I can adapt it.

  • After a quick look, I think both of these will be easy with the more well-known bits of biblatex. The tricky bit is the cited/not-cited distinction, which biblatex apparently solves very elegantly (see lockstep's answer below). – Tikitu Dec 14 '10 at 08:56

One learns something new about biblatex every day. :-)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[defernumbers=true]{biblatex}

\DeclareBibliographyCategory{cited}
\AtEveryCitekey{\addtocategory{cited}{\thefield{entrykey}}}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
}
@misc{B02,
  author = {Buthor, B.},
  year = {2002},
  title = {Bravo},
}
@misc{C03,
  author = {Cuthor, C.},
  year = {2003},
  title = {Charlie},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

Some text \autocite{A01,B02}.

\printbibliography[category=cited]% default title for `article` class: "References"

\printbibliography[title={Further Reading},notcategory=cited]

\end{document}

    I'm speechless... after seeing this, I think my New Year's resolution will be to fully convert to biblatex. – Willie Wong Dec 12 '10 at 20:32

    That's awesome, thanks lockstep! @Willie Wong: biblatex has just hit v1.0, so your timing is perfect ^_^ It would be my answer to the questions you linked above too. – Tikitu Dec 14 '10 at 08:38
  • @lockstep, How to renumber the reference of "Futher Reading"? like [1] C.Cuthor…… – Pig Cry Nov 05 '11 at 12:24
  • 8
    @PigCry: \printbibliography[title={Further Reading},notcategory=cited,resetnumbers=true] – lockstep Nov 05 '11 at 17:56
  • @PigCry Why would you want any reference numbers in the Further Reading list if you're not referencing them in the main text? –  Jan 04 '13 at 13:21
  • @MarcvanDongen just make it's form consistent with the references. – Pig Cry Jan 05 '13 at 02:25
  • Any way to have separate sorting options for the "cited" and "not cited" lists? – mac Aug 16 '13 at 21:54
  • Is there any way to include the for the Further Reading \printbibliography options? – DGarside Oct 25 '13 at 19:45
  • Another reason to number the items in the Further Reading list is to include immediately after, or immediately before, that list commentary about these readings, with corresponding\cites. – murray May 21 '17 at 16:15
  • @DGarside: you could give every item one of two keys, say main and supplemental (either within a single .bib file or, if it's more convenient, one .bib file just for the items with main key and another just for the items with supplemental key). Then use \printbibliography[keyword=main] and \printbibliography[keyword=supplemental]. – murray May 21 '17 at 16:21
  • How can I choose what "not-cited" entries to show? (only 20 from a total of 300 in the bib file). – skan Aug 30 '19 at 00:48
  • How does one use this effectively with refsection=chapter? In my chapter-wise bibliographies, I find that a "further reading" entry that is cited using nocite{} in a given chapter, gets "promoted" to "References" if it is cited in a later chapter! Moreover, it appears with a repeated number, e.g. [1], [2], [2]. – Karthik Raman Apr 27 '20 at 09:02
  • thanks for this elegant trick! I'm seeing strange behavior with this, though: when adding one more than 82 \cite{...}'s (and it doesn't even matter if the keys given in the cite command exist in the bib file!), my bibliography entries suddenly all get a key of [0] (both in the cited and uncited section, and no matter whether resetnumbers is true or not). Meaning I can't use this approach when citing more than 82 references. Anybody seen this or got an idea why this might happen? – codeling May 10 '23 at 09:39
  • This does not work, compiled using pdflatex main.tex -interaction=nonstopmode --shell-escape – episodeyang Nov 28 '23 at 20:00

This is just a subtle difference from the @lockstep's solution, which enables you to put subtitles on each sub-list besides the main title.

% create a list of cited and uncited refereces with biblatex

\documentclass[12pt]{article}


% biblatex
\usepackage[backend=bibtex, sorting=none, style=numeric-comp, defernumbers=true]{biblatex} % using biblatex
\addbibresource{refs.bib} % add reference file
% for each cited reference create a category named "cited"
\DeclareBibliographyCategory{cited}
\AtEveryCitekey{\addtocategory{cited}{\thefield{entrykey}}}


\begin{document}


This one is cited \cite{jiao2013characterization}.


\nocite{*}
\printbibheading
\printbibliography[category=cited,heading=subbibliography,title={Cited papers}]
\printbibliography[title={Supplementary papers},heading=subbibliography,notcategory=cited]


\end{document}

refs.bib might be something like this

@article{jiao2013characterization,
  title={Characterization of high-latitude ionospheric scintillation of GPS signals},
  author={Jiao, Yu and Morton, Yu T and Taylor, Steven and Pelgrum, Wouter},
  journal={Radio Science},
  volume={48},
  number={6},
  pages={698--708},
  year={2013},
  publisher={AGU}
}

@article{linty2018detection,
  title={Detection of GNSS ionospheric scintillations based on machine learning decision tree},
  author={Linty, Nicola and Farasin, Alessandro and Favenza, Alfredo and Dovis, Fabio},
  journal={IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems},
  volume={55},
  number={1},
  pages={303--317},
  year={2018},
  publisher={IEEE}
}

I am aware the the poster asked for an answer using the biblatex package, but I noticed that biblatex does not provide accurate IEEE citations when using \usepackage[style=ieee]{biblatex}. So here is the solution using the multibib package for those who need to use the IEEEtran citation style (which is used in the IEEE conference template) and achieve the same goal.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multibib}

\newcites{uncited}{Bibliography}


\begin{document}


This is a sample text that cites a source \cite{sample_cited_source}.


% print all uncited sources for the Bibliography
\nociteuncited{*}


\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{references} % file with references


\bibliographystyleuncited{IEEEtran}
\bibliographyuncited{bibliography} % file with bibliography entries


\end{document}
