[Tex/LaTex] Biblatex: Using “and” within textcite, “&” within parencite, “&” within bibliography

biblatex

I am very new to LaTeX as you will see from my crude MWE. I have spent a lot of time tweaking biblatex to how I need it to look. I have one final problem, I can not find a work around and can't find a solution on the site.

I would like to show an "and" for my \textcite when there are multiple authors, which it currently does. Although I would like to have "&" for my \parencite with multiple authors. I would also like to have my bibliography showing "&".

Please find MWE and any help would be appreciated.

Example of three authors would be the same as above \textcite{test} using {\bfseries ``and''} within {\bfseries textcite}. \\

Change of the final name delimiter between \parencite and \textcite from "&" to "and" as in

(Sigfridsson & Ryde, 1998) and Sigfridsson and Ryde (1998)

is a feature of APA style. See for example https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/01/writing-in-text-citations-in-apa-style.html and https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2011/02/changes-parentheses-bring.html.

If you are looking for a complete implementation of APA style with biblatex, you may be interested in biblatex-apa, which when loaded as
\usepackage[backend=biber, style=apa]{biblatex}
should produce a bibliography and citations according to APA guidelines.

The answer below shows how to change the final name delimiter in the standard styles.

With the new context sensitive delimiter interface that should be as easy as redefining finalnamdelim in global scope to give an ampersand and to give "and" for textcite.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[style=authoryear, backend=biber]{biblatex}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareDelimFormat{finalnamedelim}{\addspace\&\space}
\DeclareDelimFormat[textcite]{finalnamedelim}{%
  \ifnumgreater{\value{liststop}}{2}{\finalandcomma}{}%
  \addspace\bibstring{and}\space}

\begin{document}
\cite{sigfridsson,companion}

\parencite{sigfridsson,companion}

\textcite{sigfridsson,companion}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

Edited to use the context sensitive delimiter interface. See the edit history for older versions of biblatex.

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex: uppercase in \parencite, but not in \textcite

I think the only way is the redefinition of the cite command. In the example below I defined a new macro named uppercite which formats the name via the redefinition of \mkbibnamelast:

\DeclareCiteCommand{\parencite}[\mkbibparens]
  {\usebibmacro{prenote}}
  {\usebibmacro{citeindex}%
  \usebibmacro{uppercite}}
  {\multicitedelim}
  {\usebibmacro{postnote}}

\newbibmacro*{uppercite}{%
  \iffieldundef{shorthand}
    {\ifthenelse{\ifnameundef{labelname}\OR\iffieldundef{labelyear}}
       {\usebibmacro{cite:label}%
        \setunit{\addspace}}
       {\def\mkbibnamelast##1{\MakeUppercase{##1}}\printnames{labelname}%
        \setunit{\nameyeardelim}}%
     \usebibmacro{cite:labelyear+extrayear}}
    {\usebibmacro{cite:shorthand}}}

[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}

  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},

  journalabbr={JBC},
