In my beamer presentation, I want to cite the reference without title. So, I tried:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[
backend=bibtex8,
defernumbers=true,
sorting=none,
firstinits=true,
uniquename=init,
uniquelist=false,
refsegment=section,
citestyle=numeric
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{mini.bib}
\AtEveryBibitem{\clearfield{Title}}
\begin{document}
\section{Start}
\begin{frame}
first cite\footfullcite{Julie2006}
%\printbibliography
\end{frame}
\section{2nd}
\begin{frame}
Second cite\footfullcite{gyof}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
with the mini.bib :
@article{gyof,
Author={BLJ},
Title={Some Title},
Journal={joural1},
volume={15},
pages={1337},
Year={1985}
}
@article{Julie2006,
Author={JBS},
Title={Some Other Title},
Journal={journal2},
volume={74},
pages={144411},
Year={2006}
}
with \AtEveryBibitem{\clearfield{Title}}
I was expecting no title will be produced, but thats not the case:
Is there any incompatibility between clearfield and footfullcite? Or I am just missing something?
Best Answer
Since
\fullfootcite
(and\fuulcite
) are still technically cite commands, we need to use\AtEveryCitekey
to hook into and not\AtEveryBibitem
, even though they copy the behaviour of the bibliography driver.So the solution is to use
Discussions about whether it is a good idea to drop the title have been had elsewhere on this site, so I will just remark that omitting the title might work for
@article
s, but looks odd - at best; at worst it will just be plain confusing and inhibit the reader's ability to locate the work (think of a very productive author that managed to get several books published by the same publisher in one year) - with other entry types, so something along the lines ofmight be better suited.
You might also want to get rid of the "in:" as in Suppress “In:” biblatex.
