I have a article called v2.tex and a bibfile called research.bib. Both are in the working directory. I use windows and have installed MiKTeX and TeXstudio.

In the v2.tex file I have the following code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{natbib}

\begin{document}
some text from author \citet{clewlow} and \citet{pindyck}. 

\bibliographystyle{harward}
\bibliography{research}

\end{document}

And in the bibfile I have two articles, called "Clewlow" and "Pindyck".

When running bibtex and latex, I get

there were undefined citations

in the tex file, and error that

log file is not found

in the bibfile. The citations in the pdf ends up as question marks.

I have been googeling this for days, and I cant seem to figure it out! Any tips?

You cite the articles as "clewlow" and "pindyck" (small), and in the bib file they are called "Clewlow" and "Pindyck" (capital)? –  mafp Apr 16 '13 at 15:32

Yes, this command is case sensitive. –  smh Apr 16 '13 at 15:58

I have the exact same problem. I have a shared folder between a windows computer and mine which has ubuntu and once in a while these problems arise in Windows but not in ubuntu. I've compiled the file dozens of times without problems and just today the citations decided to be gone. –  Gerardo May 1 '13 at 2:28
    
To be able to answer here, we'll need to see the .bib file and also the logs (or at least part of them). Until then, this is 'unclear' as we can't answer. –  Joseph Wright Aug 13 '13 at 11:03
    
It's a TexStudio problem. TexStudio does not know where to look for the log file, which is in another directory as the current file being compiled. I tried to set a "master" file, which I expected would resolve the issue. Still looking for answer. –  PatrickT 16 hours ago
