Incorrect reference numbering when using \nocite{*}

[engeljh]

When I use \nocite{*} the list of references starts at number 2. Here is a minimal example:

test.tex:

\documentclass{article} \begin{document} \nocite{*} \bibliographystyle{test} \bibliography{test} \end{document}

test.bib:

@article{a, author = "Author, A.", title = "Title A", } @article{b, author = "Author, B.", title = "Title B." }

test.bst:

@article{a, author = "Author, A.", title = "Title A", } @article{b, author = "Author, B.", title = "Title B." }

Resulting test.bbl:

\begin{thebibliography}{2} \providecommand{\enquote}[1]{``#1''} \providecommand{\url}[1]{{\tt #1}} \providecommand{\href}[2]{#2}

\bibitem[2]{a} A. Author, Title A

\bibitem[3]{b} B. Author, Title B.

\end{thebibliography}

I see your "test.bst" is just a copy of your "test.bib", but that is just a copy-paste error, I think. So I replaced it with a default BST file and tried your example -- and yes, I get the same result that you do. The numbering is off by one. I will see if I can find the error.

Oh yes, I'm sorry. In case you're curious, test.bst contains just the line "article = ,
