Misplaced alignment tab character &. \printbibliography[heading=bibintoc,title={References}
Solution 1
Answer 2 was very helpful, the problem was that a had used a &
instead of the word and
in an author's name, I found it and correct it but it was until I erased the .bbl
and .blg
(both in my reference files and my main file, make a backup first) files then I have compiled with BibTeX then compile with pdflatex that the problem was corrected.
Solution 2
I had the same problem in the .bib file, I foumd that I am using the & sign in the titles of the articles or in the journal name, I escaped it by using \ before the sign like below
\&
,
then the error disappeared

Phelype Oleinik over 4 yearsWelcome to TeX.SX! It's quite hard to tell with so little information. The error message should contain the line in which the error happened, which might give a clue on which entry contains the stray
&
. Give us more info to work on, please. -
moewe over 4 yearsNote that errors like this can persist in the temporary files and may occur even if the source
.bib
is fixed. Delete all temporary files (.aux
,.bbl
,.bcf
, ...) and recompile from scratch. If the error persists, there is still an unescaped&
in the.bib
.
