[Tex/LaTex] Remove unneeded information from bibliography

biblatexbibliographies

I am encountering a small problem with my thesis again. Once again I am asked to follow the academic guidelines, trying to replicate the following bibliography as close as possible

I attempted to find a style matching the picture above, but alas nothing worked. My biggest problem was two, or three parts of the bibliography

Finding a bibliography style which uses 1. instead of [1] in the
references.
Using dashed to suppress Authors with repeated entries.
Suppressing too much information in the bibliography.

Any ideas or help is greatly apreaciated.

I used numeric as a base. Inspiration came from Make biblatex numeric style use line in bibliography entries for same author?, and of course from Suppress “In:” biblatex

[Tex/LaTex] No comma between location and year, year in parentheses in case of a journal

The verbose style and its variants follow an authortitle-style bibliography, which is closely based on the standard style defined in standard.bbx.

From this file you can see that the punctuation preceding publication dates are set by a few different bibliography macros, depending on the entry type: issue+date for @article, publisher+location+date for most books, institution+location+date for reports and theses, organization+location+date for @misc, and location+date for @booklet and @unpublished.

In issue+date publication dates are already set in parentheses. To remove punctuation before the page reference you can redefine the \bibpagespunct command from biblatex.def in your preamble:

\renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{%
  \ifentrytype{article}{\addspace}{\addcomma\space}}

To remove page prefixes (e.g. "p." and "pp.") add:

\DeclareFieldFormat{page}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat{pages}{#1}

The comma preceding the publication date in other entry types can originate from a few different places. For example in publisher+location+date:

\newbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \printlist{location}%
  \iflistundef{publisher}
    {\setunit*{\addcomma\space}}% <- HERE
    {\setunit*{\addcolon\space}}%
  \printlist{publisher}%
  \setunit*{\addcomma\space}% <- OR HERE
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

Same goes for the other *location+date macros. To remove the commas change all relevant instances of \addcomma\space to \addspace in your redefinitions. Otherwise you can use the following dirty trick (at your own risk):

\renewbibmacro*{date}{\setunit{\addspace}\printdate}

In all these publications dates, if you are just wanting to print the publication year add the following to your preamble.

\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \clearfield{month}%
  \clearfield{day}}

\AtEveryCitekey{%
  \clearfield{month}%
  \clearfield{day}}

Your last request about use of shortauthor and shorttitle in citations would be better addressed as a new question. It needs to be clarified anyway.

[Tex/LaTex] One \cite crash all

Short answer: A hyphen in one of the bibliography entries gives an encoding error. To solve this, delete the letter and retype it.

How to find the one \cite to crash them all!!!

Make a copy or another form of backup of your project.
Find out which bibliography entry causes the problem by step by step removing the other ones or the cites in your .tex file [I find it easier to see if the error is gone, if I delete all the .log files between compilations, because otherwise it can survive there for a few compilations]
Find out which field is causing the error. Since Biblatex thankfully is very tolerant about missing fields, just remove field by field until the error is gone.
On could probably just have looked up the unicode number of the error message, but from experience - are prone to be some bad characters, so it was just a lucky guess. Other examples of characters prone to be in disguise are spaces, ligatures (such as ﬁ), accented letters or math symbols.
