My Question is about the line:

\newcommand{\mybiblatexstyle}{ieee}

If I am right this line says that the bibliography and the citations are going to be formated in the IEEE Standard. But how can I adjust the way it will be shown in my document? I am using the Overleaf compiler to work on my thesis. I got a template from my university but its quite difficult to understand whats happening because we never got tought anything about LateX.

I want to clean up my references in the bibliography to look like this:

enter image description here

But whenever I will cite anything the DOI or ISSN Number will appear in the bibliography. I found out that I have to adjust the way Mendeley exports the .bib file by adjusting the csl file by removing the DOI part there. It never worked or I found no citation style which I can adjust to not mention DOI or ISSN. Then I tried to just delete the informations from the .bib file which worked quite well but its not a elegant way of resolving this issue and the Bibliography still contains the site on which my citation could be found.

Is there a way to implement biblatex via

\usepackage[backend=biber]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{lauraPhd2016.bib}

so that I can adjust the style of the bibliography more easily or do I have to adjust the citation style completely via the mendeley manager?

Because when I comment \newcommand{\mybiblatexstyle}{ieee} out many errors appear and I cant find any documentations about this newcommand. When I found sites my browser or my computer won´t open the website...

The template I am using is https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/game-lab-graz-theses-template/rcrgfpyzmhwp

I am searching the whole day to resolve this but nothing works or i cant find anything helpful.

\mybiblatexstyle is just a local command, to be the text apa by default. You will not find any documentation on this other that the template file itself as it is just defined in this file, not a command that has any general use.

With the template example it runs without error if you change apa to ieee. It is used in just one place in the template that you link to, line 552 of template/preamble.tex which has

\usepackage[backend=biber, %% using "biber" to compile references (instead of "biblatex")
style=\mybiblatexstyle, %% see biblatex documentation
%style=alphabetic, %% see biblatex documentation
%dashed=\mybiblatexdashed, %% do *not* replace recurring reference authors with a dash
backref=\mybiblatexbackref, %% create backlings from references to citations
natbib=true, %% offering natbib-compatible commands
hyperref=true, %% using hyperref-package references
]{biblatex}  %% remove, if using BibTeX instead of biblatex

so changing the top level macro in main.tex is just the same as changing the style= key in the call to biblatex.
