I am trying to separate the reference and the bibliography using biblatex, and I am trying to achieve it by having two separate bib files, but I am not quite sure how should I get on with it.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}
\addbibresource{main.bib}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

the main text

\printbibliograph
\end{document}
  • What is the difference between references and the bibliography for your purposes? Are the references the works cited in the document and the bibliography is a kind of 'further reading' section? In that case https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/6967/35864 is more elegant than a solution with different .bib files. If references and bibliography differ in another way, you could use keywords (if the difference is inherent to the .bib entries) or categories (if the difference is linked to the specific document you write). – moewe Jul 11 '19 at 04:56
  • If you are absolutely committed to a solution using two different .bib files, you'd probably go via automatically added keywords: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/35279/35864 – moewe Jul 11 '19 at 04:58

Maybe an own refsection for the bibliography can help?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{biblatex}


\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{main.bib}
@article{aksin,
  author       = {Aks{\i}n, {\"O}zge and T{\"u}rkmen, Hayati and Artok, Levent
                  and {\c{C}}etinkaya, Bekir and Ni, Chaoying and
                  B{\"u}y{\"u}kg{\"u}ng{\"o}r, Orhan and {\"O}zkal, Erhan},
  title        = {Effect of immobilization on catalytic characteristics of
                  saturated {Pd-N}-heterocyclic carbenes in {Mizoroki-Heck}
                  reactions},
  journaltitle = jomch,
  date         = 2006,
  volume       = 691,
  number       = 13,
  pages        = {3027-3036},
  indextitle   = {Effect of immobilization on catalytic characteristics},
}
\end{filecontents*}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{bibliography.bib}
@article{angenendt,
  author       = {Angenendt, Arnold},
  title        = {In Honore Salvatoris~-- Vom Sinn und Unsinn der
                  Patrozinienkunde},
  journaltitle = {Revue d'Histoire Eccl{\'e}siastique},
  date         = 2002,
  volume       = 97,
  pages        = {431--456, 791--823},
  langid       = {german},
  indextitle   = {In Honore Salvatoris},
  shorttitle   = {In Honore Salvatoris},
  annotation   = {A German article in a French journal. Apart from that, a
                  typical \texttt{article} entry. Note the \texttt{indextitle}
                  field},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource[label=main]{main.bib}
\addbibresource[label=bibliography]{bibliography.bib}

\begin{document}

the main text \cite{aksin}
\printbibliography

\begin{refsection}[bibliography]
\nocite{*}\printbibliography[title=Bibliography]
\end{refsection}

\end{document}
