Hi,

I have several tex documents that share the same mybibliography.bib file. Each of these tex documents have its own folder and in each folder I'm repeating the mybibliography file. My question is if there is a way to generate all my tex documents using just one bibliography file.

Thanks!

If you introduce the path of the file, I think it is possible but I don't remember the syntax.
