My bibliography contains a very big paper (3000+ authors).



When trying to cite that paper, I get this error:



Your field is more than 20000 characters---line 495 of file research.bib


And the citation doesn't appear in the final document.



Question:
How do I fix this or bypass that limit?

    I think that you would need to recompile BibTeX with a larger memory size or cut some author. Or maybe use biber and BibLaTeX instead...

    it's the one about gravitational waves produced by colliding neutron stars (iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/aa91c9) :)

    @hdev My field is ocean wave energy, but I'm definitely citing this paper in my master's thesis =D

The BibTeX file exported by IOP is malformed as institutional authors are intermingled with persons and even Biber chokes on it. With some editing it will run, but at the end it will output “B. P. Abbot et al.”.



Change author= into fullauthor= and add the field



author=B. P. Abbot and others,


BibTeX will ignore the humongous fullauthor field.

  • @hdev No need to remove the full list, just change the field name to something BibTeX ignores and add a reduced list like I showed.
