    Re: "However this may not be the case with bibtex". Indeed, this does not seem to work with bibtex. I have an entry in my .bib file with a line like author = {Onymous, A. N.}, %The author in it. In TeXShop, when I hit the Typeset button with BibTex selected in the drop down next to it, I get a message in the console saying "You're missing a field name" and "I'm skipping whatever remains of this entry". The rest of my entry was indeed ignored and I got an incomplete reference in my .pdf. Commented Jan 28, 2016 at 11:44
  • @JacobAkkerboom no but the question was about biber/biblatex. I never claimed that this solution would work with bibtex. Commented Jan 28, 2016 at 19:29
  • yes, you are right. I felt it was worth investigating, but now that I realise the question is probably about alternatives to bibtex, I realise my comment is probably not so useful. I'm quite a novice at these things, do you think mine is a case of a buggy .bib interpreter, as the other answer suggests? Thanks for your reply. Commented Jan 28, 2016 at 19:43
