When using

\newcites{novels}{Novels}

in the package multibib, then I can cite with

\citenovels{entry}.

And I get an extra bibliography with title Novels.

Unfortunately, I do not want to have a title for this extra bibliography, but using

\newcites{novels}{}

gives me an error. What can I do to get rid of the title?

The solution depends on the document class.

article Add the following lines to the preamble:

\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\removebibheader
  {\xpatchcmd\std@thebibliography
    {\section*{\refname}%
     \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}%
    }{}{}{}%
  }
\makeatother

scrartcl, scrreprt, scrbook Add the following lines to the preamble:

\makeatletter
\newcommand\removebibheader{\let\bib@heading\relax}
\makeatother

Moreover, for all of the above classes: Define the new bibliography with whatever title you like, e.g.

\newcites{novels}{Novels}

At the place where you include the bibliography, execute the command \removebibheader before. In order not to affect other bibliographies, surround it and the \bibliograhy... command by braces.

{\removebibheader
 \bibliographynovels{novels}
}

Here is an example with full code.

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{novels}{Novels}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\removebibheader
  {\xpatchcmd\std@thebibliography
    {\section*{\refname}%
     \@mkboth{\MakeUppercase\refname}{\MakeUppercase\refname}%
    }{}{}{}%
  }
\makeatother
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\citenovels{entry}
\blindtext
\bibliographystylenovels{plain}
{\removebibheader
 \bibliographynovels{novels}
}
\end{document}

Alternatively, for the scrartcl class:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{novels}{Novels}
\makeatletter
\newcommand\removebibheader{\let\bib@heading\relax}
\makeatother
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\citenovels{entry}
\blindtext
\bibliographystylenovels{plain}
{\removebibheader
 \bibliographynovels{novels}
}
\end{document}

Contents of novels.bib:

@article{entry,
author = {The author},
title = {The novel},
journal = {The journal},
year=2016
}

  • it works but unfortunately there is a really big space then before the bibliography starts – John_Doe Dec 14 '16 at 19:49

    I've modified my answer. – gernot Dec 14 '16 at 20:19
  • I followed your instructions: It does not work, the heading is still there. – John_Doe Dec 14 '16 at 20:31
  • The only difference to your example is that I use \bibliographystylenovels{abbrv} and have a \section{Novels} before \bibliographystylenovels{abbrv}. Moreover, I use scrartcl. – John_Doe Dec 14 '16 at 20:32
  • since in your command there appers \section it maybe has something to do with the fact that I use \section{Novels} before.. – John_Doe Dec 14 '16 at 20:42

    @John_Doe Different document classes handle section headings (like the one for the bibliography) differently. I have updated my answer for the scrartcl class. – gernot Dec 14 '16 at 22:28

With the report or book classes, you can use:

\begingroup
   \def\chapter*#1{}
   \bibliography ...
\endgroup

After struggling for three days, I found a very simple solution to remove the title regardless of the file class or any other package being used simultaneously: rather than leaving the title argument empty, you need to use the {} as the argument for each new citation:

in short: \newcites{main,method}{{},{}}

\documentclass{extarticle} 
%any other class should work, i have tried IEEEtran and article and it did work just %fine
\usepackage{multibib}
\newcites{main,method}{{},{}} 

% here rather than leaving the argument as empty use  empty curly brackets

\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\citemain{entry1}
%assuming there exist references with the key named "entry1" and "entry2"  in the bib file
\bibliographystylemain{plain}
\bibliographymain{refs} 
 %assuming there is a bib file with the name "refs"
\blindtext
\citemethod{entry2}
\bibliographystylemethod{plain}
\bibliographymethod{refs}  
\end{document}

assuming the name of the .tex file is "document", run

pdflatex document

bibtex main.aux

bibtex method.aux

pdflatex document

pdflatex document

If your documentclass is moderncv, you can do \renewcommand*{\bibliographyhead}[1]{} before \bibliography. Surround both with an enclosing {} if the title should be removed for only one of the bibliographies:

{\renewcommand*{\bibliographyhead}[1]{}
 \bibliographynovels{novels}
}
