[Tex/LaTex] Bibliography Style with abstract and numbered references

biblatex

How to get a bibliography style that generates numeric-style citation call-outs and typesets the contents of the abstract fields of bibliographic entries?

Best Answer

You seem to want a numeric style, biblatex offers some variations on your classical version, namely numeric-comp and numeric-verb.

The abstract field is by default not included in the bibliography output, but we can easily add it using

\DeclareFieldFormat{abstract}{\par\small#1}
\renewbibmacro*{finentry}{\printfield{abstract}\finentry}

Where the first line takes care of a nice formatting.

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\DeclareFieldFormat{abstract}{\par\small#1}
\renewbibmacro*{finentry}{\printfield{abstract}\finentry}

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

\printbibliography
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Get an entry’s abstract using bibtex and harvard.sty (or any other means)

The biblatex package includes a reading style that will include abstracts into the (specially formatted) bibliography.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[style=reading]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@misc{A01,
  author = {Author, A.},
  year = {2001},
  title = {Alpha},
  abstract = {This is the abstract.},
}
\end{filecontents}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\nocite{*}

\begin{document}

\printbibliography

\end{document}

(The filecontents environment is only used to include some external files directly into the example, so that it compiles. It is not necessary for the solution.)

[Tex/LaTex] biblatex IEEE bibliography style: Alphabetical labels rather than numerical labels

As the IEEE use a numerical style, you will need to add some code from alphabetical styles into your source. Add the labelalpha option to those used when loading biblatex, to come after the bibstyle=ieee option, and add the following code after loading biblatex:

\defbibenvironment{bibliography}
  {\list
     {\printtext[labelalphawidth]{%
        \printfield{prefixnumber}%
    \printfield{labelalpha}%
        \printfield{extraalpha}}}
     {\setlength{\labelwidth}{\labelalphawidth}%
      \setlength{\leftmargin}{\labelwidth}%
      \setlength{\labelsep}{\biblabelsep}%
      \addtolength{\leftmargin}{\labelsep}%
      \setlength{\itemsep}{\bibitemsep}%
      \setlength{\parsep}{\bibparsep}}%
      \renewcommand*{\makelabel}[1]{##1\hss}}
  {\endlist}
  {\item}
\DeclareFieldFormat{labelalphawidth}{\mkbibbrackets{#1}}
