[Tex/LaTex] Remove ‘In’ and ‘pp’ from bibliography

biblatexbibliographies

I want to remove the 'In' an 'pp' that is produced in the bibliography. These are some of the commands in the preamble:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,oneside,]{memoir}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage[left=3.50cm, right=3.0cm, top=3.0cm, bottom=3.0cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[style=numeric, backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{bibtest.bib}
\DeclareNameAlias{default}{last-first}
\usepackage{stmaryrd}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{amsmath}

Best Answer

Use

\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}

to get rid of the 'pp.' in the bibliography for all types. If you only want that for journal articles, use \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{pages}{#1}.

For the 'in:', have a look at Suppress "In:" biblatex. The following removes the 'in:' only for @article

\renewbibmacro{in:}{%
  \ifentrytype{article}
    {}
    {\bibstring{in}%
     \printunit{\intitlepunct}}}

edit: Updated for biblatex 3.15's definition of in:.

[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}

[Tex/LaTex] pdflatex suddenly takes much longer to compile document – how to find the reason

It seems that using backend=biber is causing the amazing slow down,

I've asked a new focused question here to discuss this issue: Why does biber increase compilation time of pdflatex runs dramatically (factor 2.8!!)?

Performance comparison biber / bibtex8:

Test setup

my LaTeX document, limited to one long chapter by \includeonly,
98 pages with many many references, many of them in large tables.
large .bib file (5.6 MB) with >3000 references, 350 of them cited in the document
I'm compiling from OS X terminal to measure the duration of the compilation:
latexmk -C; time pdflatex main.tex

Test results
