I am using biblatex for this. I would like to change the comma to a colon after vol (num) in articles. Currently, the format is:

Beth, T. and Gollmann, D. (1989). Algorithm Engineering for Public Key Algorithm. IEEE Journal on selected areas in communications 7 (4), 458–465.

And I would like to have (without affecting others, such as inbook):

Beth, T. and Gollmann, D. (1989). Algorithm Engineering for Public Key Algorithm. IEEE Journal on selected areas in communications 7 (4): 458–465.

What I have done so far is: 

\usepackage[
  refsection=chapter,
  firstinits=true,
  useprefix=true,
  isbn=false,
  doi=false,
  mincitenames=1,
  maxcitenames=2,
  minbibnames=3,
  maxbibnames=5,
  style=authoryear,
  dashed=false,
  backend=bibtex
]{biblatex}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article,inbook,incollection,inproceedings,patent,thesis,unpublished]{title}{#1} 
\renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addcomma\space}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\textbf{#1}}
    \DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\textbf{\mkbibparens{#1}}}
    \renewbibmacro*{volume+number+eid}{
      \printfield{volume}
      \setunit*{\addnbthinspace}
      \printfield{number}
      \setunit*{\addcomma\space}
      \printfield{eid}
      }

Thanks in advance.

  • Have a look at this, if you only want this for articles, go with \renewcommand*{\bibpagespunct}{\ifentrytype{article}{\addcolon\space}{\addcomma\space}}. – moewe Feb 27 '15 at 17:02
  • Thanks moewe, your suggestion worked. I had already tried to redefine \bibpagespunct, but without including \ifentrytype. Thanks. – sigur_ros Feb 27 '15 at 17:22

Solved thanks to moewe's comment:

    I think you should elaborate a little bit on your answer. Just copying a user's comment is not really a solution (even if he granted to do so ;-)) –  Feb 27 '15 at 18:15
