Simultaneous appearance of two bibliographies, with two referencing styles

Good afternoon,

Unfortunately I am getting two different bibliographic styles from Zotero.

I was requested to submit my article with (Author, Year) instead of subscript Roman-numeral.

Unfortunately LibreOffice on Windows 8 was crashing regularly, so I moved to an Ubuntu VM. An even greater misfortune awaited when the references in the document weren't recognised by Zotero (same account), so I ended up having two different bibliographic styles in my document.

When I finished writing, I received an error preventing me from inserting the bibliography, since there was already a bibliography for the other style.

(I was able to generate one though after deleting all the alternate references) - Then I cut that bibliography out, Ctrl+Z many times, then put it after the alternate bibliography.

Now I have two bibliographies, and two referencing styles in my document.

How do I repair this?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor
  • Check 9. here

    you should be able to see where the 1st bib is being created and delete that.

    If the old citations weren't recognized by Zotero you'll most likely just have to delete and re-insert them, especially at this point - it might have been possible to do something about that right when you switched, but not once you've started inserting new citations in the document.
  • I gained a bit more information from exporting it to LaTeX:

    The new citations look like this:

    \label{ref:ZOTEROITEMcitationID2cird4ma9fcitationItemsurihttpzoteroorgusers599343itemsTCC6K72BRNDVPoyfZpvsE}(Lin
    and Lin).

    Whilst the old citations look like this:

    \footnote{Adobe Systems Incorporated (2000). \textit{PDF Reference: Adobe Portable Document Format: Version 1.3}. 2nd ed. Boston: Addison-Wesley. 485.}
  • The old citation doesn't have any connection to Zotero as I suspected. Nothing to be done here. You'll have to manually re-insert them.
    The only thing you can fix is trying to track down the double bibliography that's causing you trouble.

    Latex doesn't actually do anything useful here - you can just use the commands suggested in the link above to show fields/reference marks for the same information.
  • Alright, ended up manually adding each one.
