From somebody else I received a bib file with the bibliography I have to use. I also have to use IEEEtran for the bibliography style. I know it has been used with it and with amsrefs before. For me, it produces errors.

Bibtex only issues warnings:

This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 2.9.6960 64-bit)

....

Warning--entry type for "OpenMP" isn't style-file defined

--line 18 of file parallel.bib

Warning--entry type for "OmpSs17" isn't style-file defined

--line 97 of file parallel.bib

....

Warning--to sort, need author or key in OpenMP

Warning--missing date in OpenMP

(There were 4 warnings)

LaTeX-ing produces errors on these, and on other entries too:

! Package amsrefs Error: Undefined entry type: .



See the amsrefs package documentation for explanation.

 ...                                              



l.5 bib{OpenMP}{}

                  {

? 



Package amsrefs Warning: No authors, editors or translators on input line 9.

...

! Package amsrefs Error: Undefined entry type: booklet.

 ...                                              



l.362 bib{STFC17}{booklet}

                           {

? 

and several others.

Some of the problematic entries in that bib file:

@STANDARD{OpenMP,

  title = {{OpenMP 4.5 Specifications}},

  url   = {http://www.openmp.org/mp-documents/openmp-4.5.pdf},

  note  = {{A}ccessed on Oct~13, 2017}

},



@INBOOK{Chamberlain15,

  author    = {Bradford L.~Chamberlain},

  editor    = {Pavan Balaji},

  title     = {Programming Models for Parallel Computing},

  chapter   = {Chapel},

  publisher = {{MIT} Press},

  year      = {2015},

  month     = nov,

}

My questions: concerning bibtex warning to sort, need author or key - obviously there are types of entries without authors. But what is key?

Concerning the rest - clearly there are entry types like booklet or inbook defined somewhere. How to search for such things?

Fulfilling request for an example, here it is

documentclass{article}



usepackage{amsrefs}



begin{document}



Sample citations: cites{OpenMP,Chamberlain15}.



bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}

bibliography{IEEEabrv,example}



end{document} 

Here the file example.bib is exactly as reproduced above, the bibtex log is

Command Line:   bibtex.exe "example"

Startup Folder: C:UsersmeDesktopexample



This is BibTeX, Version 0.99d (MiKTeX 2.9.6960 64-bit)

The top-level auxiliary file: example.aux

The style file: amsrn.bst

Database file #1: IEEEabrv.bib

Database file #2: example.bib

Warning--entry type for "OpenMP" isn't style-file defined

--line 1 of file example.bib

Warning--to sort, need author or key in OpenMP

Warning--missing date in OpenMP

(There were 3 warnings)

and the pdflatex log is

Command Line:   pdflatex.exe --interaction=errorstopmode --synctex=-1 "example.tex"

Startup Folder: C:UsersmeDesktopexample

You can't use amsrefs with the IEEEtran style. Just omit usepackage{amsrefs} and the specific commands.

Here I used jobname as the name of the bib database, but it's just to make the example self-contained. Note that a @STANDARD entry needs an institution field.

To be more precise: amsrefs ignores bibliographystyle commands in the document and uses its own style (amsrn). Such a style doesn't know the same entries as IEEEtran, in particular @STANDARD or @BOOKLET.
