Bibliography in table of contents

Question

 \begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \include{chapter1}
  \bibliographystyle{plain}
  \bibliography{biblio}
 \end{document}

The bibliography does not appear in the table of contents, have you an idea please?

If I add this:

\usepackage[nottoc,numbib]{tocbibind}

the bibliography will appear as a chapter in my document!!

Answer 1

To get the bibliography to be listed in the ToC as an unnumbered sectional unit (chapter or section), use tocbibind without the numbib option:

\usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind}

Another option would be to use the etoolbox package to patch \thebibliography to use \addcontentsline:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\apptocmd{\thebibliography}{\csname phantomsection\endcsname\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\bibname}}{}{}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter1}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio}
\end{document}

Answer 2

A very easy way is to include following line before after writing bibliography, i.e., after the command \bibliography in standard LaTeX or after the command \printbibliography using the package biblatex.

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}

here is the original post: Insert bibliography into table of content

For example, in standard LaTeX

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter1}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{biblio}%writing the bibliography
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}%Including it as a chapter
\end{document}

Or with the package biblatex

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[style=plain]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblio}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\include{chapter1}
\printbibliography%Writing the bibliography
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}%Including it as a chapter
\end{document}

Answer 3

Placing the

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}

immediately below the

\begin{thebibliography}

seems to work.

Answer 4

Can use following example on adding

• Bibliography

• List of Publications

• Brief Biodata

---

\include{chap5} 
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Bibliography}

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,Main_thesis}

\input{lop.tex}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{List of Publications}
\input{biodata.tex}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Brief Biodata of the Author}

Answer 5

I had the problem that tocbibind only includes the bibliography as section, which looks like it's part of the last chapter. So I found a solution which also works with hyperref :

\phantomsection
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\refname}
\renewcommand{\addcontentsline}[3]{}
\bibliography{biblio}
