[Tex/LaTex] biblatex: how to make \fullcite a clickable link

biblatexhyperref

I am using biblatex to cite articles with full reference in the text, and therefore have no references section.

The biblatex setup that I use is the following

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{bibliography.bib}
    @article{reference,
    author = {F Author and S Author}, 
    journal = {Obsc. J.},
    title = {Article Title},
    pages = {13},
    volume = {400},
    year = {2013},
    month = {Oct},
    doi = {10.1111/123},
    URL = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/123}}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[maxnames=1,backend=bibtex,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,firstinits=true,uniquename=false,useprefix=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{year}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{\mkbibemph{#1}} % italic journal title 
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{} % remove "in:"
\renewcommand{\newunitpunct}{, }
\renewcommand{\newblockpunct}{, }
% remove first name
\DeclareNameFormat{first-last}{\usebibmacro{name:last}{#1}{#3}{#5}{#7}\usebibmacro{name:andothers}}
\AtEveryCitekey{\clearfield{title}} % remove title


\begin{document}
Cite the article \fullcite{reference}.
\end{document}

This way, a reference cited with \fullcite gives something like "Author et al., Obsc. J. 400 (2013), 13".

So far so good, but now I would like to make the citation (or at least the first author if thats easier) a hyperlink leading to the URL of the article (each article entry in the bib-file has a URL entry and/or a DOI). Is there a way to do this?

Edit: something similar is used in the reference section of some Journals, see e.g. this open access article.

Instead of redefining each and every field format you might like this more general approach to redefine the \fullcite command.

\DeclareCiteCommand{\fullcite}
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\iffieldundef{doi}
    {\iffieldundef{url}
      {\usedriver
       {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
       {\thefield{entrytype}}}
      {\href{\thefield{url}}
        {\usedriver
          {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
          {\thefield{entrytype}}}}}
    {\href{http://dx.doi.org/\thefield{doi}}{\usedriver
     {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
     {\thefield{entrytype}}}}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

This will link the full citation as printed by the bibdriver to the DOI-URL or URL (in that order of precedence).

The MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{bibliography.bib}
@article{reference,
  author = {F Author and S Author}, 
  journal = {Obsc. J.},
  title = {Article Title},
  pages = {13},
  volume = {400},
  year = {2013},
  month = {10},
  url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/123},
  doi = {10.1111/123},
}
\end{filecontents}

\usepackage[maxnames=1,backend=bibtex,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,firstinits=true,uniquename=false,useprefix=true]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibliography.bib}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{year}{\mkbibparens{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{journaltitle}{\mkbibemph{#1}} % italic journal title 
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{} % remove "in:"
\renewcommand{\newunitpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\renewcommand{\newblockpunct}{\addcomma\space}
\DeclareNameFormat{first-last}{\usebibmacro{name:last}{#1}{#3}{#5}{#7}\usebibmacro{name:andothers}}
\AtEveryCitekey{\clearfield{title}} % remove title

\DeclareCiteCommand{\fullcite}
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\iffieldundef{doi}
    {\iffieldundef{url}
      {\usedriver
       {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
       {\thefield{entrytype}}}
      {\href{\thefield{url}}
        {\usedriver
          {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
          {\thefield{entrytype}}}}}
    {\href{http://dx.doi.org/\thefield{doi}}{\usedriver
     {\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}}
     {\thefield{entrytype}}}}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\usepackage{hyperref}

\begin{document}
Cite the article \fullcite{reference}.
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] \fullcite without indent in biblatex

Okay, so the answer involves my misinterpretations of how the \AtEveryCiteKey definition works. I had the following markup in my document, which I had formatted to be clear (to my C/Java/Ruby-writing programmer's mind) with newlines and indents:

\AtEveryCitekey{
  \clearfield{url}
  \clearfield{doi}
  \clearfield{isbn}
  \clearfield{issn}
}

LaTeX was interpreting the newlines as whitespace separated by (non-printing) characters, and adding four spaces to the beginning of every \fullcite!

I changed the markup to:

\AtEveryCitekey{\clearfield{url}\clearfield{doi}\clearfield{isbn}\clearfield{issn}}

And now all is well.

[Tex/LaTex] Citing (author, journalabbr., year) needed

First thing to do is to add a field for the journal abbreviation to the article entrytype, journalabbr in the MWE. Therefore you need to declare a datamodel (an extra file; in the MWE I've used filecontents to simulate that) and you have to tell biblatex/biber to use it in the package options.

Then you have to modify the cite command, so it fits your needs. \citep from the authoryear-style (your citestyle) uses the \cite command. There you just have to add a switch, which checks if the field journalabbr is empty or not, and prints it out or not.

Last but not least you have to add the abbreviation fields to the entries.

MWE:

\begin{filecontents}{min.bib}
@article{boisson2003unexpected,
  title={Unexpected protein families including cell defense components feature in the N-myristoylome of a higher eukaryote},
  author={Boisson, B. and Giglione, Carmela and Meinnel, Thierry},
  journal={Journal of Biological Chemistry},
  journalabbr={JBC},
  year={2003},
  publisher={ASBMB}
}
\end{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{authorjabbryear.dbx}
\ProvidesFile{authorjabbryear.dbx}
\DeclareDatamodelFields[type=field,datatype=literal]{journalabbr}
\DeclareDatamodelEntryfields[article]{journalabbr}

    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

\addbibresource{min.bib}

\begin{document}

\citep{boisson2003unexpected} 

How it should look like: 

(Boisson et al., JBC, 2003)

\printbibliography

\end{document}
