Page Layout ⇒ Reference numbering with a list of Figures

[nabi]

Hi all,

I have a set of references on my piece of work and i would like them to start from number one at least in the first chapter where introduction comes in. The \bibliographystyle is set to IEEEtran, which means that it already orders the reference as they were unsorted, i.e. unsrt, since the references are not order themselves.

The problem is that i have a list of Figures and list of Tables just before first chapter appears and because there are refences in these captions then the introduction has in its first paragraph a reference starting with number 5, which it doesnt look good.

Is there a way of starting the order of the references from the first chapter?

Thanks

Use the optional argument of the \caption command to avoid references from appearing in the LoF or in the LoT:

Code: Select all

\caption[Here's the caption without citation]{Here's the caption with a cite to~\cite{key}}

hi,

I have used the optional case, which is true that removes the citation from the LoF and LoT. But for some reason the numbering in the first chapter still starts from 5. So I deleted
Mydocumet.lot
Mydocumet.lof
Mydocumet.bbl

Is there any other file that i might want to delete before i compile?

Thanks

Massive apologise!

I just had to compile it again (2 time) as i missed to read the log files saying "there were undefined references".

So now works perfectly.

Thanks for your fast reply
