Following the comments I'll start from the beginning.

I want to cite with superscore numbers and a list of references in the bibliography in the following format:

Book:

Surname, Name: Title. Subtitle, Location Year

Journal:

Surname, Name: Title. Subtitle. In: Journal, Release Date, Page

Multiple authors should be divided by a backslash!

So the bibliography should look like this.

Jobs, Steve/Gates, Bill: Steve Jobs. In Memory. In: Weekly Apple, 1999, S.44-45

Here is the minimal example:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style = numeric,backend=biber,autocite = superscript]{biblatex}
\usepackage[babel,german=quotes]{csquotes}

%\usepackage[style = geschichtsfrkl,citeinit = true, mitvn = true, jahrkeineklammern = true, mits = true, ibidpages = true, sorting=nyt, sortcase = true, autopunct=true, url = true, date = long, backend=bibtex8]{biblatex}


\bibliography{Quellen} 

\renewcommand*{\autorenschriftart}{}
\renewbibmacro{in:}{. In:}

\begin{document}
This is a super nice example \autocite{BlaBla:1999}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

And this is the bibliography file:

@Article{BlaBla:1999,
  author = {Jobs, Steve and Gates, Bill},
  title = {Steve Jobs},
  subtitle = {In Memory},
  journal = {Weekly Apple},
  location = {Silicon Valley},
  year = {1999},
  volume = {1},
  pages = {44--45},
  month = {january}
}

Thank you very much in advance! Any help appreciated!

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Marco Daniel Feb 09 '14 at 10:16

    How do you you want to cite inside the text? I think the style isn't a good choise because it's completed designed for footnote citations. – Marco Daniel Feb 09 '14 at 10:16
  • Thank you Daniel! I will have a look at it! I don't want citations inside the text, just a superscript number referencing the source inside the bibliography.And with the style... I thought this myself too, but it fulfills almost all my requirements und I desperately struggled to come to the same result with biblatex since I'm an absolute noob! ;) – user45762 Feb 09 '14 at 10:37

    I think you should start with \usepackage[style = numeric,backend=biber,autocite = superscript]{biblatex} and inside the text use This is a super nice example\autocite{BlaBla:1999}. After this we can modify your bibliography output. – Marco Daniel Feb 09 '14 at 10:44
  • I will give it a try, although I fear that much is to be done ;) – user45762 Feb 09 '14 at 11:09
  • The geschichtsfrkl style has not been updated since 2012, and biblatex has changed quite a bit since then. Seeing that you are not too fussed about in text citations (the hard part to implement), you might want to modify numeric (as Marco Daniel suggested). Just explain what you would like to achieve (i.e. give the general format and maybe one or two real life examples and their expected output). – moewe Feb 09 '14 at 11:19

    Is there any special formatting to be applied to any of the title fields - or fields in general (italic/emphasis/bold/quotation marks ... you name it). Is there a space after the slash? Or should it be "Jobs, Steve/Gates, Bill" or even "Jobs, Steve / Gates, Bill"? – moewe Feb 09 '14 at 12:02
  • Also: Are you sure you want all the volume/number information dropped from journal articles? – moewe Feb 09 '14 at 12:14
  • There should no be any special formatting in any of the fields and, this was my fault, there should not be a space after the slash, that means: Jobs, Steve/Gates, Bill! And thank you for formatting my post: it looks better now! Yes, I want it to be dropped; at least that is what my template tells me! – user45762 Feb 09 '14 at 12:17

The following code implements some of your wishes for the bibliography.

Formatting for a lot of fields is dropped via

\DeclareFieldFormat*{citetitle}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{title}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{journaltitle}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{maintitle}{#1}
\DeclareFieldFormat*{booktitle}{#1}

The name format "First, Last/Second, Author" is enforced via

\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{last-first}
\DeclareNameAlias{author}{sortname}
\DeclareNameAlias{editor}{sortname}
\DeclareNameAlias{translator}{sortname}
\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addslash}
\renewcommand*{\finalnamedelim}{\multinamedelim}

To get rid of months/volumes and number information

\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \clearfield{month}%
  \ifentrytype{article}
    {\clearfield{volume}
     \clearfield{number}}
    {}
}

You can get rid of further fields by adding them to the list, for example

\AtEveryBibitem{%
  \clearfield{month}%
  \clearfield{series}
  \clearlist{publisher}
  \ifentrytype{article}
    {\clearfield{volume}
     \clearfield{number}}
    {}
}

Be aware though that there are different types of "fields", there are field, list, and name, and one needs to use the appropriate \clear[...] macro.

The name is separated from the title by a colon and the final period is dropped

\renewcommand*{\labelnamepunct}{\addcolon\space}
\renewcommand*{\finentrypunct}{}

This is for date formatting (publisher is dropped, plus comma before location)

\renewbibmacro*{publisher+location+date}{%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewbibmacro*{location+date}{%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \printlist{location}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewbibmacro*{journal+issuetitle}{%
  \usebibmacro{journal}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%
  \iffieldundef{series}
    {}
    {\newunit
     \printfield{series}%
     \setunit{\addspace}}%
  \usebibmacro{volume+number+eid}%
  \setunit{\addcomma\space}%
  \usebibmacro{issue+date}%
  \setunit{\addcolon\space}%
  \usebibmacro{issue}%
  \newunit}

\renewbibmacro*{issue+date}{%
  \printfield{issue}%
  \setunit*{\addspace}%
  \usebibmacro{date}%
  \newunit}

\renewbibmacro*{series+number}{%
  \iffieldundef{series}
    {}
    {\printtext[parens]{%
      \printfield{series}%
      \setunit*{\addspace}%
      \printfield{number}}}}

  • Thank you very much, you don't know how thankful I am! The last two things left for now are that there is a dot instead of a comma before the location in the book-entry and that there are still these nasty points at the end of the entries! In any case I will vote your answer up when I gained enough reputation! – user45762 Feb 09 '14 at 18:04
  • @user45762 Have a look at the edited answer? Does this solve your two problems? – moewe Feb 11 '14 at 16:57
  • @user45762 I posted a wrong MWE earlier, sorry, that should be fixed now. – moewe Feb 11 '14 at 19:18

Here an expanded starting point:

  1. Load biblatex with the style numeric and don't sort any entries. So they are appear in the bibliography in the same order as they cited:

    \usepackage[style = numeric,backend=biber,autocite = superscript,sorting=none]{biblatex}

  2. Change the delimiters between authors:

    \renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addslash\space}

Here an example:

\RequirePackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{Quellen.bib}
@Article{BlaBla:1999,
author = {Jobs, Steve},
title = {Steve Jobs},
subtitle = {In Memory},
journal = {Weekly Apple},
location = {Silicon Valley},
year = {1999},
volume = {1},
pages = {44--45},
month = {january}
}
\end{filecontents}
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style = numeric,backend=biber,autocite = superscript,sorting=none]{biblatex}
\usepackage[babel,german=quotes]{csquotes}

%\bibliography{Quellen}
\addbibresource{Quellen.bib}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}

\renewcommand*{\multinamedelim}{\addslash\space}

\begin{document}
This is a super nice example\autocite{BlaBla:1999}

This is a super nice example\autocite{companion}

This is a super nice example\autocite{knuth:ct:a}

\printbibliography
\end{document}
