References on jss template show a ? Sign

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

Hello:

I have problems adding References to the jss template. I have use the elsevier template with no problem. I also tried changin the @reference to \cite{references} or \citep{references} but a ? Sign appears where the references should be. I feel I am not pointing to the .bib file in the right way. Any idea of what I am doing wrong?

[yihui]

How about this?

output:
  rticles::jss_article:
    citation_package: natbib
bibliography: your-references.bib

Hello yihui:

Sorry for the delayed reply, but I wanted to try different versions of what you sent me. It still has the question mark where the references are. The file I am trying to get to work is here https://github.com/derek-corcoran-barrios/DiversityOccupancyJSS/tree/master/DiversityOccuPaper/Untitled

The Rmd is called DiversityOcc.Rmd , and the .bib is called Derek.bib.

Here is my sessioninfo:

You need to library(rmarkdown); library(rticles) before printing sessionInfo(). And when in doubt, try to upgrade (R, R packages. and so on).

Thanks again:

I loaded rmarkdown and rticles, and I know I have the latest version.

[yihui]

Should be fixed now (note you need biblio-style: jss in the YAML metadata). Thanks!

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

Sorry to keep bothering you, should I re-install rtricles from your github now? from what I understand you fixed it in github right?

[yihui]

Yes you can install from Github.

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

I did, still getting the ? sign, did I change the format ok?

preamble: >
\usepackage{amsmath}
biblio-style: jss
output:
rticles::jss_article:
citation_package: natbib
bibliography: Derek.bib

[yihui]

Weird. It works for me;

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

mmm, I am guessing that it could be either different OS, I have Ubuntu, or maybe it is that I need to update R (I have 3.2.3)

[yihui]

Can you provide a copy of DiversityOcc.tex?

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

There is one in the github I sent you, do you need me to send it in another way?

Thanks for being so patient Yihui!

[derek-corcoran-barrios]

Hello again:

I just tried it in the computer I have in my job and it worked very well, this one is a windows 7 pc, I will mess around in my ubuntu and tell you how it goes.

Thanks for your patience
