Say one one has a few citations and a large no of bib entries are not directly used. But you still want to cite them. So what do you do?
Enter \nocite{} But this will force you to copy the keys of every bibentry.
I try to be lazy if possible in such matters, so I tried to find how I could
avoid the repetitive headache.
Turns,out \nocite{*} works perfectly for this.
I forget now where I read it, though.
