If I have multiple footnote citations of the same reference on the same page I get multiple footnote entries with exactly the same content.
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@article{test,
title = {Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols},
volume = {71},
number = {17},
journal = {J. Org. Chem.},
author = {Test T.},
month = aug,
year = {2006},
pages = {6333--6445}
}
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
First\footfullcite{test}, second\footfullcite{test} and third time.\footfullcite{test}
\end{document}
I find this to look weird and wondered if something like this was possible:
1,2,3 Test T. “Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols”. In: J. Org. Chem.
71.17 (Aug. 2006), pp. 6333–6445.
If the output in my minimal example is completely normal I am happy to leave it that way – I would just like to hear some opinions on this.
UPDATE:
I have done some further research on this and I reckoned it would be the simplest if a footnote citation occurred twice on a page it would get the same footnote.
First\footfullcite{test}, second\footfullcite{test} and third time.\footfullcite{test}
would give
First [1], second [1] and third.[1]
Conclusion:
My first proposal is very hard to achieve and unnecessary complicated. The solution using "ibid" solves this problem in a different but effective way. If one did not want to use "ibid", Audreys post solves the problem very nicely, too.
Best Answer
Probably using the
authoryear-ibid
style and using first\footfullcite
and then only\footcite
is a little better.Modifying your MWE to:
you obtain this result:
The best way, as suggested by Audrey, would be, anyway, to use the
verbose-ibid
style and simply use\footcite
for all the citations.
