I am using overleaf.com for the following.

I have recently finished writing my thesis, the document is set up with a main.tex with \input{Chapter01.tex} for each chapter. Up until now I have been compiling only one chapter at a time for convenience, but now I need to compile the full document. Only when I compile the full document with every chapter included, about 30 of my citations fail with the error:

You have cited something which is not included in your bibliography. Make sure that the citation (\cite{...}) has a corresponding key in your bibliography, and that both are spelled the same way.

Not only are these citations definitely included in my .bib file, but if I compile individual chapters, they work. I'll give an example of the first citation which fails below, which I include in the main text as \cite{Broken}

@Article{Broken,
    author = {{De Paolis}, F. and {Giordano}, M. and {Ingrosso}, G. and {Manni}, L. and {Nucita}, A. and {Strafella}, F.},
    title = "{The Scales of Gravitational Lensing}",
    journal = "{Universe}",
    year = 2016,
    month = 03,
    volume = 2, 
    number = 1,
}

This is the usepackage I'm using:

\usepackage[backend=biber, style=authoryear, maxnames=1, uniquelist=false, uniquename=false]{biblatex}

I tried following what was said in this question Question mark or bold citation key instead of citation number , but It didn't help. My .blg file doesn't seem to have any issues:

The issue is particularly difficult to troubleshoot as it only occurs when I compile the full document, and that takes several minutes.

  • Did you try to use \nocite{*} ?

  • I'm not sure what that is, what is it supposed to do? Adding it into my text didn't do anything.

Well I never figured out the real issue, but I solved whatever it was by changing my biblatex backend to bibtex rather than biber.

Just in case anyone else was also has this issue - in my case it turned out that a whitespace in a file name causes this. Everything else compiles just fine so I wasn't really focused on that, but if the citations are in a text file that has a whitespace in the title they won't show up!

    I think you mean "a text file that has a whitespace in the file name". In this context, "title" may be misinterpreted as the title of something in the text.
