Bibliography and Jabref

Question

I have some problems with the bibliography of my thesis and Jabref. I don't understand why some URL or DOI go out the borders... Can you help me?

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex,style=phys,biblabel=brackets,natbib=true,sorting=none,url=true,hyperref=auto]{biblatex}

\addbibresource{tesi.bib}

\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes}

\begin{document}

\setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{8000}

\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

\end{document}

This has nothing to do with poor old JabRef… Simply, LaTeX, by default, cannot hyphenate url's anywhere. You have to customise the rules for hyphenating url's. Other possibility, asking for urls to start a new line. — Bernard, Jul 23 '17 at 14:23
Thanks for the answer... How can I do that? And why some links cannot hyphenate and others do? — Sebastiano, Jul 23 '17 at 14:28
By default it breaks urls at some well-defined points, in particular not after a digit. Do you use biblatex? — Bernard, Jul 23 '17 at 14:38
Try adding this to your preamble: \setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{8000}. — Bernard, Jul 23 '17 at 14:45
Dear Bernard, thanks for your help, but this command line works only for some URLs. — Sebastiano, Jul 23 '17 at 14:52
It doesn't work with all urls with a large amount of consecutive digits? — Bernard, Jul 23 '17 at 14:55
Could you post a full compilable code+ the problematic bibliography items? — Bernard, Jul 23 '17 at 15:09
Can you please add a minimal working example with bibliography (MWEB) so we can reproduce your problem? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jul 23 '17 at 15:09
Have a look at this one https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/47267/3235 — percusse, Jul 23 '17 at 16:44
@Sebastiano Thanks for the code. Can you please complete it with the bib entries that don't work? — samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz, Jul 23 '17 at 19:18
You can also try to change the values of biburlucpenalty and biburllcpenalty, see also URL line breaks with biblatex. If you want us to investigate your special problem, please show us the code for some of the problematic .bib entries as well. And make sure that the problematic URLs actually have the problem in the MWE. That way we can be sure to talk about the same thing. — moewe, Jul 24 '17 at 11:05

Because we have no bib entrys you use I simply used the example bib file biblatex-examples.bib. The bib entrys kastenholz,sigfridsson,ctan,markey have dois and urls included to test the code.

To get a better layout add the three following lines to your code:

\setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{8000} % <=================================
\setcounter{biburlucpenalty}{8000}  % <=================================
\setcounter{biburllcpenalty}{8000}  % <=================================

You can change the number 8000 as you need (1 to 10000).

With the following MWE I have no problems with the margins and dois or urls:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@Article{Hsi_JACS_1975, 
  author = {Edward Hsi and Robert G. Bryant}, 
  title = {Nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation in frozen lysozyme solutions}, 
  journal = {J. Am. Chem. Soc.}, 
  year = {1975}, 
  volume = {97}, 
  number = {11}, 
  pages = {3220--3221}, 
  doi = {10.1021/ja00844a051}, 
  eprint = {dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja00844a051}, 
  url = {dx.doi.org/10.1021/ja00844a051}, 
}
@Article{Brovchenko_ChemPhysChem_2008, 
  author = {Ivan Brovchenko and Alla Oleinikova}, 
  title = {Multiple Phases of Liquid Water}, 
  journal = {Chem\-PhysChem}, 
  year = {2008}, 
  volume = {9}, 
  number = {18}, 
  pages = {2660--2675}, 
  issn = {1439-7641}, 
  doi = {10.1002/cphc.200800639}, 
  keywords = {percolation, phase diagrams, phase transitions, 
      supercritical fluids, thermodynamics}, 
  publisher = {WILEY-VCH Verlag}, 
  url = {dx.doi.org/10.1002/cphc.200800639}, 
}
\end{filecontents}


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[%
  backend=bibtex,
  style=phys,
  biblabel=brackets,
  natbib=true,
  sorting=none,
  url=true,
  hyperref=auto
]{biblatex}
\usepackage[autostyle=true]{csquotes}

\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\setcounter{biburlnumpenalty}{8000} % <=================================
\setcounter{biburlucpenalty}{8000}  % <=================================
\setcounter{biburllcpenalty}{8000}  % <=================================


\begin{document}

Test \cite{kastenholz,sigfridsson,ctan,markey} 
test \cite{Hsi_JACS_1975,Brovchenko_ChemPhysChem_2008} test

\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc]

\end{document}

with the resulting page:

Please try this MWE with your own bib entrys. If you still have problems please add theese bib entrys to your question. Then we can test them on our computers ...

@Article{Brovchenko_ChemPhysChem_2008, author = {Ivan Brovchenko and Alla Oleinikova}, title = {Multiple Phases of Liquid Water}, journal = {ChemPhysChem}, year = {2008}, volume = {9}, number = {18}, pages = {2660--2675}, issn = {1439-7641}, doi = {10.1002/cphc.200800639}, keywords = {percolation, phase diagrams, phase transitions, supercritical fluids, thermodynamics}, publisher = {WILEY-VCH Verlag}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/cphc.200800639}, } — Sebastiano, Aug 14 '17 at 07:48
