I'm trying to cite a certain book in my article. But somehow, it messes up processing the "&" symbol. Although I tried using "\&" instead of "&", it keeps giving me the same error. The bibtex entry is given below.
@book{dasgupta11,
title={The Science of Drinking: How Alcohol Affects Your Body and Mind},
author={Dasgupta, A.},
year={2011},
publisher={Rowman \& Littlefield Publishers},
}
The specific error message I get from this is:
Misplaced alignment tab character &. Rowman &Littlefield Publishers ...lisher{}{Rowman & Littlefield Publishers}
I managed to find the answer after searching for a little longer. I deleted all the additional files in the folder containing the .tex. These include the .blg, .bbl, .log, .aux and .gz files. Aftert this, I recompiled, and everything seems to be working fine now.
