Unable to load Biobliography using {biblatex} package and \printbibliography

Question

This is the code I use for my bibliography

\usepackage[style=authoryear,sorting=ynt]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}

\printbibliography

This is an example of my bibliopgrahy:

@Article{Acosta2008,author = {Acosta, EG and Castilla, V and Damonte, EB}, title = {Functional entry of dengue virus into Aedes albopictusmosquito cells is dependent on clathrin-mediated endocytosis.}, journal = {J Gen Virol}, volume = {89}, number = {Pt 2}, pages = {474--484}, year = {2008}, abstract = {Entry of dengue virus 2 (DENV-2) into Aedes albopictus mosquito C6/36 cells was analysed using biochemical and molecular inhibitors, together with confocal and electron microscopy observations. Treatment with monodansylcadaverine, chlorpromazine, sucrose and ammonium chloride inhibited DENV-2 virus yield and protein expression, whereas nystatin, a blocker of caveolae-mediated endocytosis, did not have any effect. Using confocal microscopy, co-localization of DENV-2 E glycoprotein and the marker protein transferrin was observed at the periphery of the cytoplasm. To support the requirement of clathrin function for DENV-2 entry, overexpression of a dominant-negative mutant of Eps15 in C6/36 cells was shown to impair virus entry. The disruption of actin microfilaments by cytochalasin D also significantly affected DENV-2 replication. In contrast, microtubule disruption by colchicine treatment did not impair DENV-2 infectivity, suggesting that DENV-2 does not require transport from early to late endosomes for successful infection of mosquito cells. Furthermore, using transmission electron microscopy, DENV-2 particles of approximately 44-52 nm were found attached within electron-dense invaginations of the plasma membrane and in coated vesicles that resembled those of clathrin-coated pits and vesicles, respectively. Together, these results demonstrate for the first time that DENV-2 enters insect cells by receptor-mediated, clathrin-dependent endocytosis, requiring traffic through an acidic pH compartment for subsequent uncoating and completion of a productive infection.}, location = {}, keywords = {}}

I have tried several ways to load the bibliography stored in my bibliography.bib file with no results.

The error is:

Empty bibliography on input line

The bibliography is not empty, and the bibligraphy is on the same folder as the main '.tex' file

Error or warning? tex.stackexchange.com/… – Teagan

It has a warning sign – Vociferation

Answer 1

If your bibliography with the above content is bibliography.bib, and the following

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=authoryear,sorting=ynt]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}

\begin{document}

Text ... citation: \cite{Acosta2008}.

\printbibliography

\end{document}

is main.tex in the same folder, then you should have no problem.

Make sure that you compile once, then you compile the bibliography with Biber, then you compile the tex one last time.

Confront your minimal code with mine but - mainly - check in the settings of your editor that Biber, not BibTex, is used to build the bibliography (example: TeXstudio).

Thanks, but the in-text citation does appear, however \printbibliography does not print the bibliography. It still says that is it is empty – Vociferation

Answer 2

I had the same problem. But it worked for me when I deleted the whole [] at usepackage.

So, for \usepackage[style=alphabetic]{biblatex}, I deleted the middle part so there only was \usepackage{biblatex}. I ran it and it worked. After that, I could use this one again \usepackage[style=alphabetic]{biblatex} and it worked too.
