Change references from verbose-inote style to endnotes following the same design

Question

I am working on a proposal with a page limit, and I am running out of space. I am using verbose-inote for the references because is the style to use for the proposal. However, I am having problems of space and I would like to move all the references as endnotes at the end of the document with the same format that I have for the verbose-inote to gain some space.

I have this (messy) code as MWP:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[stable,para,hang]{footmisc}
\makeatletter
\footglue=.1em plus.15em minus.15em
\long\def@makefntext#1{\leavevmode
  @makefnmark\nobreak
  #1%
}
\usepackage[style=verbose-inote,maxcitenames=1,backend=bibtex,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,giveninits=true,abbreviate=true,ibidpage=true]{biblatex}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{}
\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{footnote}[r]{\smartcite}{\smartcites}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\bibstring{jourvol}\addnbspace #1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\bibstring{number}\addnbspace #1}
\AtEveryCitekey{\clearfield{title}}
\renewbibmacro{volume+number+eid}{%
  \printfield{volume}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%<---- was \setunit{\adddot}%
  \printfield{number}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printfield{eid}}
%This delete the title of the journal when is repeated
\newbibmacro*{footcite:note}{%
  \ifnameundef{labelname}
    {\printfield{label}}
    {\printnames{labelname}}%
  \ifsingletitle
    {}
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printtext{%
    \bibstring{seenote}\addnbspace
    \ref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}%
    \iftoggle{cbx:pageref}
      {\ifsamepage{\the\value{instcount}}
                  {\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}
         {}
         {\addcomma\space\bibstring{page}\addnbspace
          \pageref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}}}
      {}}}
\newcommand{\TODO}[1]{{\textcolor{red}{[\textbf{TODO:} #1]}}}
% \titlespacing\section{0pt}{6pt plus 4pt minus 2pt}{0pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}
% \titlespacing\subsection{0pt}{6pt plus 4pt minus 2pt}{0pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}
% \titlespacing\subsubsection{0pt}{6pt plus 4pt minus 2pt}{0pt plus 2pt minus 2pt}
\let\oldfootnotesize\footnotesize
\renewcommand{\footnotesize}{\fontsize{8bp}{1em}\selectfont}
\renewcommand{\cite}{\autocite} % citations in footnotes
\bibliography{Mendeley,Zotero}
\headheight=14pt
\makeatletter
\renewcommand\footnotesize{%
   @setfontsize\footnotesize@ixpt{8}%
   \abovedisplayskip 8\p@ @plus2\p@ @minus4\p@
   \abovedisplayshortskip \z@ @plus\p@
   \belowdisplayshortskip 4\p@ @plus2\p@ @minus2\p@
   \def@listi{\leftmargin\leftmargini
               \topsep 4\p@ @plus2\p@ @minus2\p@
               \parsep 2\p@ @plus\p@ @minus\p@
               \itemsep \parsep}%
   \belowdisplayskip \abovedisplayskip
}
\makeatother
%\let\footnote=\endnote
\begin{document}
test\cite{Zhu2020} and \cite{Wolf2020} repeat \cite{Zhu2020}
\end{document}

And this is the result:

What I would like is to have all the references of the document as endnotes but following the same design. In this case, I will avoid repetitions and hopefully win some space. Something like that:

Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

It is easily possible to redirect biblatex's footnote citations to endnotes with the option notetype=endonly.

The following MWE uses enotez to typeset paragraph-style/inline endnotes.

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{enotez}
\usepackage[inline]{enumitem}
\DeclareInstance{enotez-list}{enumstar}{list}{list-type = {enumerate*}}
\setenotez{list-style=enumstar}
\usepackage[backend=bibtex, 
  style=verbose-inote,
  maxcitenames=1, giveninits=true, 
  doi=false, isbn=false, url=false, abbreviate=true,
  ibidpage=true,
  notetype=endonly]{biblatex}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{}
\DeclareAutoCiteCommand{footnote}[r]{\smartcite}{\smartcites}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\bibstring{jourvol}\addnbspace #1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\bibstring{number}\addnbspace #1}
\AtEveryCitekey{\clearfield{title}}
\renewbibmacro{volume+number+eid}{%
  \printfield{volume}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%<---- was \setunit{\adddot}%
  \printfield{number}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printfield{eid}}
\makeatletter
\renewbibmacro*{footcite:note}{%
  \ifnameundef{labelname}
    {\printfield{label}}
    {\printnames{labelname}}%
  \ifsingletitle
    {}
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printtext{%
    \bibstring{seenote}\addnbspace
    \ref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}%
    \iftoggle{cbx:pageref}
      {\ifsamepage{\the\value{instcount}}
                  {\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}
         {}
         {\addcomma\space\bibstring{page}\addnbspace
          \pageref{cbx@\csuse{cbx@f@\thefield{entrykey}}}}}
      {}}}
\makeatother
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
test\autocite{sigfridsson} and \autocite{worman} repeat \autocite{geer}
\printendnotes
\end{document}

I have doubts that this helps you save significant space. After all you get the same behaviour for repeated citations in footnotes and endnotes: A subsequent citation will still issue a new footnote/endnote with its own contents.

You may get better results if you base your style on style=numeric, and create an inline bibliography (Inline bibliography avoiding the list format?).

  maxnames=1, giveninits=true,

\renewbibmacro{in:}{}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{volume}{\bibstring{jourvol}\addnbspace #1}
\DeclareFieldFormat[article]{number}{\bibstring{number}\addnbspace #1}

\renewbibmacro{volume+number+eid}{%
  \printfield{volume}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%<---- was \setunit{\adddot}%
  \printfield{number}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printfield{eid}}
