How can I change the level of the References in the Table of Contents by using the package “bibunits” for long monographs

Question

In monographs, references are often put at the end of each chapter, and the bibunits package can be used. References in the Table of Contents(ToC) should have the same level as section as follows:

CONTENTS...................1
1 XX.......................3
    1.1 XX ................3
    1.2 XX ................4
    References.............6
2 XX.......................7
    2.1 XX ................7

... ...

(correct ToC above)

However, I get the following ToC where References appear as chapter level.

CONTENTS...................1
1 XX.......................3
    1.1 XX ................3
    1.2 XX ................4
References.................6
2 XX.......................7
    2.1 XX ................7

... ...

(incorrect ToC above)

Here are my codes.

\documentclass{book}
...
\usepackage[sectionbib]{bibunits}
...
\begin{document}
...
\bibliographyunit[\chapter]
...
\chapter{XX}
\section{XX}
...
\putbib
...
\chapter{XX}
...
\end{document}

How can I get the correct ToC.

Any response would be appreciated.

Answer 1

It works for me. I think you need to provide a more complete example.

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{asdf, author={TH.}, title={Foo Bar}}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[sectionbib]{bibunits}
\defaultbibliography{\jobname}
\defaultbibliographystyle{plain}
\begin{document}
\bibliographyunit[\chapter]
\tableofcontents
\chapter{XX}
\section{XX}
\nocite{asdf}
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\bibname}
\putbib
...
\chapter{XX}
...
\end{document}

Answer 2

There is a difference of experience here: the original poster sees References shown as Chapter level headings in the ToC, while TH sees nothing until a \addcontentsline command is added. I have the same behaviour as the OP and think, after some experimentation, that it is due to the use of the Springer version of the book document class by the OP and me. If the book class is used, the chapter heading disappears from the ToC, or if \addcontentsline{toc}{section}{\bibname} is included in the source file, the heading is displayed as a section heading, but as 'Bibliography'.

So I conclude that there is an interaction between bibunits and the Springer monograph document class, svmono (downloadable from http://www.springer.com/cda/content/document/cda_downloaddocument/svmono.zip ), but I haven't been able to locate how to eliminate the interaction and, especially, how to remove the redundant References chapter heading in the ToC.
