    bib(la)tex? That mean biblatex with biber engine, biblatex with bibtex engine, or simply bibtex ?? Your MWE is for the classical plain bibtex, not for biblatex. Remove all the auxiliary files and then run the compilation sequence with bibtex test in the second step.

  • @Fran I'm not sure which of those it is, I am just using the built-in TexMaker BibTex compiler. I have tried deleting the .aux files and re-running the compiler and still have the same issue unfortunately

  • Not only the .aux files, but all except the originals the .tex and .bib files. Your MWE works perfectly in my TexMaker. Check that your configuration for "Bib(la)tex" (Now I realize where that misleading expression comes from) is bibtex %.aux. If this fail, then try to compile your example without any editor (in the command line prompt) with the correct compiling sequences of that answer. In this answer is explained the difference among bibtex and biblatex and biber and the correct compiling sequence in each case.
