bibliography with all authors

Question

I wish to make a bibliography where each publication lists all the author names, without the use of "et al.".

I have searched stack exchange and tried many different approaches. Most posts recommend biblatex and setting maxnames and minnames but I have found that this doesn't work. The following code below:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{scrartcl}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,tmargin=25mm,bmargin=25mm,lmargin=30mm,rmargin=30mm}

\usepackage{txfonts} %Schriftart Times New Roman

\usepackage[
  bibstyle=authortitle,
  citestyle=authoryear,
  maxnames=1000,
  minnames=100,
  backend=biber
  ]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{refs.bib}

\begin{document}

\nocite{*}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

Gives output that compiles to this:

Banos, Daniel Trejo, Daniel L McCartney, Tom Battram, Gibran Hemani, Rosie M Walker,Stewart W Morris, Qian Zhang, David J Porteous, Allan F McRae, Naomi R Wray, et al. “Bayesian reassessment of the epigenetic architecture of complex traits”. In:bioRxiv(2018), p. 450288.

So still has an "et al." I suppose I have to modify a style file somehow but I cannot work this out either and would appreciate a pointer in the right direction. Many thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Using bibtex and \bibliographystyle{plain} you can list all the author names in the references. Here is your code which is modified

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{scrartcl}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,tmargin=25mm,bmargin=25mm,lmargin=30mm,rmargin=30mm}

\usepackage{txfonts} %Schriftart Times New Roman

% \usepackage[
%   bibstyle=authortitle,
%   citestyle=authoryear,
%   maxnames=1000,
%   minnames=100,
%   backend=biber
%   ]{biblatex}

% \addbibresource{sample.bib}

\begin{document}


\nocite{*}

%---------added---------------
\bibliographystyle{plain} 
\bibliography{bayesian}

% \printbibliography

\end{document} 

Below is the contents of bibliography file bayesian.bib

@article {Banos450288,
    author = {Banos, Daniel Trejo and McCartney, Daniel L. and Battram, Tom and Hemani, Gibran and Walker, Rosie M. and Morris, Stewart W. and Zhang, Qian and Porteous, David J. and McRae, Allan F. and Wray, Naomi R. and Visscher, Peter M. and Haley, Chris S. and Evans, Kathryn L. and Deary, Ian J. and McIntosh, Andrew M. and Marioni, Riccardo E. and Robinson, Matthew R.},
    title = {Bayesian reassessment of the epigenetic architecture of complex traits},
    elocation-id = {450288},
    year = {2018},
    doi = {10.1101/450288},
    publisher = {Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory},
    URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/22/450288},
    eprint = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/22/450288.full.pdf},
    journal = {bioRxiv}
}

Compile the file using LaTeX + BibTex (x2) + LaTeX. Output of the code is shown below

(too long for a comment, hence posted as an answer)

I cannot replicate the issue you say you're experiencing if I employ the bib entry provided by the publisher (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/450288v1):

The bib entry that may be obtained from the link given above actually isn't quite right: It uses the entry type @article even though cited piece is more a preprint than a journal article. (It got published in Nature Communications earlier this year.) I therefore changed the entry type from @article to @misc, deleted the journal field, and changed the name of the publisher field to organization.

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english]{scrartcl}
\begin{filecontents}[overwrite]{refs.bib}
@misc{Banos450288,
    author = {Banos, Daniel Trejo and McCartney, Daniel L. and Battram, Tom and Hemani, Gibran and Walker, Rosie M. and Morris, Stewart W. and Zhang, Qian and Porteous, David J. and McRae, Allan F. and Wray, Naomi R. and Visscher, Peter M. and Haley, Chris S. and Evans, Kathryn L. and Deary, Ian J. and McIntosh, Andrew M. and Marioni, Riccardo E. and Robinson, Matthew R.},
    title = {Bayesian reassessment of the epigenetic architecture of complex traits},
    elocation-id = {450288},
    year = {2018},
    organization = {Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory},
    URL = {https://www.biorxiv.org/content/early/2018/10/22/450288},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{xurl}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,vmargin=25mm,hmargin=30mm}

\usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath} % 'txfonts' is obsolete

\usepackage[
          bibstyle=authortitle,
          citestyle=authoryear,
          maxnames=1000,
          backend=biber
          ]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{refs.bib}

\begin{document}
\noindent
\cite{Banos450288}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
