Hi,

I am in the progress of writing an expose for my master thesis. One point in the expose is an overview of literature. To save my time and work I use bibtex to create that chapter. The thing I want to change now is that latex starts a new page for the bibliography which is an enormous overhead in a four page document.

The, I think, relevant parts from my document are:

\documentclass [ fontsize = 12pt,
                 paper = a4,
                 paper = portrait,
                 twoside = false,
                 headsepline,
                 twocolumn = false,
                 numbers=noenddot
                ]{scrartcl}

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

\begin{document}
%
    \include{text}
    \nocite{*}
    \singlespacing
    \bibliography{literature}
%
\end{document}

If you use the article class, there should be no page break before the bibliography.

Otherwise, this looks like it could help:

Tanks for the quick answer, but I would prefer to use the KOMA classes and altering the document class to 'article' doesn't change the behaviour: The References section still starts on a new page.I didn't try the things mentioned in the link. The topic there is about page breaks inside of the bibliography not before.

I found the solution here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1209065/to-have-no-pagebreak-after-include-in-latex

Spuriously I searched for this behaviour somewhere in the bibliography related commands. But the command causing the page break is the \include{text}. Using \input{text} leads to the wanted behaviour.

Yep. \include gets everyone at least once...
