Citing and Compiling BibTeX into Separate Documents

Question

I have an article document in LaTeX in which I cite sources from a bibtex file. I want to be able to still cite these sources, but I also want to be able to compile the bibliography into a separate pdf document. This document is a grant proposal for NSF, and they want the bibliography to be in a separate document.

I have searched the web for solutions to this problem. Each solution is slightly different than what I need for my particular problem.

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{bibentry}

...

\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{MyBibliography}

The sources are included at the end of the document, and they are labeled "References". I need them in a separate document, labeled "Bibliography".

Answer 1

Assuming your main file is called test, you can simply import its bibliography in a new file with \input{test.bbl} and change the \renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography} or \renewcommand{\bibname}{Bibliography}, depending on the documentclass. This way the references will have the same numbering as in the original document.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{bibentry}

\renewcommand{\refname}{Bibliography}

\begin{document}

\input{test.bbl}
\end{document}
