使用 MDPI 期刊模板时无法生成参考文献

Question 1

我假设您下载了模板并将其放在新目录中。它应该有一个文件template.tex和一个Definitions 子目录。

我没有使用模板，而是新建了一个文件TestingMDPI.tex。将它和你的 MDPI_1_Refs.bib文件放在同一个目录中。

TestingMDPI.tex只有引言加上短语 Citing two journal papers \cite{Harries,Battin}.

现在使用TestingMDPI进行编译pdflatex。如果处理链已经biber合并，现在不用担心。经过几次构建后，您应该得到如下输出

请注意，没有一个部分参考并且还说Citing two journal papers [?,?]。

现在运行bibtex TestingMDPI。（无扩展名）我不使用 WinEdt，所以我无法提供帮助。您始终可以从命令窗口运行它。（bibtex是.exe路径中的文件）

在控制台中你应该得到

Process started: bibtex.exe "TestingMDPI"

bibtex: security risk: running with elevated privileges
This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 21.3)
The top-level auxiliary file: TestingMDPI.aux
The style file: Definitions/mdpi.bst
Database file #1: MDPI_1_Refs.bib
Process exited normally

再次运行pdflatex。这次参考文献部分将出现两篇论文（未编号），并且仍然 Citing two journal papers [?,?]

再做一次。现在你应该有最终版本了：

Citing two journal papers [1,2]

（有时需要多次运行直到一切稳定）

如果一切顺利，下一步就是配置 WinEdt 处理链，用替换biber，bibtex以便整个过程自行运行。

\section{How to Use this Template}

The template details the sections that can be used in a manuscript. Note that the order and names of article sections may differ from the requirements of the journal (e.g., the positioning of the Materials and Methods section). Please check the instructions on the authors' page of the journal to verify the correct order and names. For any questions, please contact the editorial office of the journal or [email protected]. For LaTeX-related questions please contact [email protected].

\section{Introduction}

The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work and highlight the principal conclusions. As far as possible, please keep the introduction comprehensible to scientists outside your particular field of research.

添加自在 WinEdt 中使用 LaTeX2e 的 BibTex未经测试，可能比较旧。

按下以下组合键：
CTL-SHIFT-L

CTL-SHIFT-B

CTL-SHIFT-L

CTL-SHIFT-L 
你完成了！以下是发生的事情：

CTL-SHIFT-L 运行 LaTeX2e。由于该程序设计用于 BibTeX，并且您已在 TeX 文件中使用了代码，因此它会生成一个名为“example.aux”的文件，其中包含您在文档中使用的所有引文。

CTL-SHIFT-B 运行 BibTeX。这会搜索“.aux”文件，在 BibTeX 文件中搜索相关引用，并创建一个名为“example.bbl”的文件。此文件包含您在 TeX 文件中引用的作品所需的所有信息。

再次运行 LaTeX2e。有了目录中的参考书目文件（example.bbl），LaTeX 就可以正确地在文档中创建参考书目。

再次运行 LaTeX2e 以确保所有参考资料匹配。
