LaTeX: Cite, but don't reference

latex bibtex bibliography
Dave picture Dave · Oct 27, 2010 · Viewed 18.4k times · Source

I'm producing a set of documents in LaTeX, and I would like to provide a single, global bibliography page for the whole set. This is because each document is page-limited: I don't want to take up space with references at the bottom of each one.

This means in each case, I would like to cite in the text, but not produce a reference at the end. I am using bibtex/natbib to handle the referencing.

Simplest example:

\documentclass[]{article}
\bibliographystyle{/usr/share/texmf/bibtex/bst/natbib/plainnat.bst}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
In \citet*{MEF2010} I described the method.
\bibliography{bibliography.bib}
\end{document}

How can I do this? Essentially I just want it to cite correctly:

In Bloggs, Blagg and Blog (2010) I described the method.

But not add a references section at the end. Any ideas?

Thanks,

David

Instead of using \bibliography{bibliography.bib} you can try \nobibliography{bibliography.bib}.

You still need to enter the path so it can make the cross-references.
