I'm currently writing a paper for an ACS journal, so I'm using achemso
style formatting in TexStudio to write it.
I'm relatively new to LaTeX so I've been Googling around to solve problems I've come across, but there's this one problem I can't seem to find a solution for. All of the referencing and bibliography work were going on well until an error,
---the literal stack isn't empty for entry yan2016nonlinear
while executing---line 1700 of file achemso.bst
(There was 1 error message)
appeared. After this error, the reference of interest appeared within the bibliography without author names, while all of the other references were okay. The reference with the error is (6) in the image below.
I've tried using the .bib file within another document, but there the bibliography turned out to be just fine. Currently I have no clue where the error could be coming from.
I tried to produce a MWEB regarding the comments from moewe.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{yan2016nonlinear,
title={Nonlinear and robust statistical process monitoring based on variant
autoencoders},
author={Yan, Weiwu and Guo, Pengju and Li, Zukui and others},
journal={Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems},
volume={158},
pages={31--40},
year={2016},
publisher={Elsevier}
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\cite{yan2016nonlinear}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
The problem is that the bib file works fine in certain situations. For instance I tried adding the reference to one of the conference papers I had worked on last year, and the bibliography showed up just fine.
The source of the bibliography is, after searching the title of the paper on Google scholar, I clicked on the citation mark, the second icon right after the star, then clicked on BibTeX and pasted the contents to my bib file.
Thanks for all the guidance. I know the format of the question must still be incomplete but I'll try my best to revise it.
.bst
file, but it could also be a bug in your.bib
file. So please show us a complete yet minimal example that reprduces the message. See I've just been asked to write a minimal example, what is that? and How to write a MWEB (Minimal working example with Bibliography)?. – moewe Jul 11 '18 at 6:08yan2016nonlinear

. E.g., did you download the information from sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169743916302088 (click on the "Export" button to download the bibliogrpahic data)? – Mico Jul 11 '18 at 7:51author={Yan, Weiwu and Guo, Pengju and Li, Zukui and others},
does not match the authors listed in sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169743916302088 which would beauthor={Yan, Weiwu and Guo, Pengju and Liang gong and Li, Zukui},
(Liang gong
could be a problem...) But the MWE still shows a problem inachemso.bst
