Hi John, Thanks for the pointer. I think some of the errors I was getting were due having old temporary files (aux, bcf, ...) lying around and then switching between natbib and biblatex.
Following the org-ref manual I now have #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[citestyle=authoryear-icomp,bibstyle=authoryear, hyperref=true,backref=true,maxcitenames=3,url=true,backend=biber,natbib=true] {biblatex} and then use bibliographystyle:authoryear I'm now just getting the following error: ! Package biblatex Error: '\bibliographystyle' invalid. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
