BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Author replaced by Dash

[moh-thabit]

I am new in LaTeX and I have problem that author not show in references just a dash "—" in place of author. This the citation.

Code: Select all

@INPROCEEDINGS{Dang2, 
  author={Dang, D.Q. and Wang, Y. and Cai, W.}, 
  booktitle={Control and Automation, 2009. ICCA 2009. IEEE International Conference on},
  title={A multi-objective optimal nonlinear control of variable speed wind turbine}, 
  year={Dec.}, 
  pages={17-22}, 
  keywords={control system synthesis;linear quadratic control;nonlinear control systems;optimal control;power generation control;predictive control;wind turbines;Tip-Speed-Ratio;control design;linear quadratic Gaussian;mechanical electrical system;multiobjective optimal nonlinear control;multiobjectives synthesis;nonlinear model predictive control;variable speed wind turbine;wind energy conversion system;Aerodynamics;Control design;Control systems;Electric variables control;Mechanical variables control;Nonlinear dynamical systems;Optimal control;Power system modeling;Wind speed;Wind turbines;Multi-objective;Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC)…etc;Wind turbine control}, 
  doi={10.1109/ICCA.2009.5410481},
}

And appear like this with IEEEtran:

—, “A multi-objective optimal nonlinear control of variable speed wind turbine,” in Control and Automation, 2009. ICCA 2009. IEEE International Conference on, Dec., pp. 17–22

Works for me:

Code: Select all

% File moh-thabit.tex
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}
\nocite{Dang2}
\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
\bibliography{moh-thabit}
\end{document}

with "moh-thabit.bib" containing the entry you typed.

By the way, I suspect you meant to type this for the bibliography entry:

Code: Select all

@INPROCEEDINGS{Dang2,
  author={Dang, D.Q. and Wang, Y. and Cai, W.},
  booktitle={Control and Automation, 2009. ICCA 2009. IEEE International Conference on},
  title={A multi-objective optimal nonlinear control of variable speed wind turbine},
  month=dec,
  year=2009,
  pages={17--22},
  keywords={control system synthesis;linear quadratic control;nonlinear control systems;optimal control;power generation control;predictive control;wind turbines;Tip-Speed-Ratio;control design;linear quadratic Gaussian;mechanical electrical system;multiobjective optimal nonlinear control;multiobjectives synthesis;nonlinear model predictive control;variable speed wind turbine;wind energy conversion system;Aerodynamics;Control design;Control systems;Electric variables control;Mechanical variables control;Nonlinear dynamical systems;Optimal control;Power system modeling;Wind speed;Wind turbines;Multi-objective;Nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC)…etc;Wind turbine control},
  doi={10.1109/ICCA.2009.5410481},
}

(as "Dec." is not a year...)

Thank you very much kaiserkarl13.

That means I should be careful about citing even from IEEE site because I just copied the citation from there.

another question what is difference between bibliographystyle "ieeetr" and "IEEEtran"?

[kaiserkarl13]

I used ieeetr.bst because I had it already. If I use IEEEtran.bst instead, I still get more or less the same thing. I attach the difference, which is more or less the placement of the date. I would assume IEEEtran.bst is preferred, since it seems to accompany the IEEEtran.cls document class, which I don't have in my TeX distribution either.

In case you're curious, I commented out the IEEEtran style, ran LaTeX and BibTeX, copied the .bbl file, then commented out the ieeetr style and replaced it with an input command that included the ieeetr-based .bbl file. Like so:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\nocite{Dang2}
%\bibliographystyle{ieeetr}
%\bibliography{moh-thabit}
\input{moh-thabit-ieeetr.bbl}
\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{moh-thabit}
\end{document}
