I have written my document with 50 \{footnote} elements. I now realize I need to produce a bibliography page at the end of the doc. Is there any way to have LaTeX turn those footnotes into a bibliography section? Do I need to change them all to \autocite{} elements and then include something like this

\printbibliography[heading=bibempty] % if you want a bibiography at the end as well
\end{document}

As per this question

  • That depends on how exactly your \footnotes look at the moment. If they contain the raw text of the citations, additional work will be needed to convert them to a .bib file to make them usable with biblatex. If you are already using a .bib file, things might be easier. It is also not quite clear to me what the expected output should be. Can you clarify that a bit? Ideally you would also include a short example document (a so-called MWE: https://tex.meta.stackexchange.com/q/228/35864) of how your \footnotes look now. – moewe Mar 02 '19 at 05:58

You can convert all your footnotes in endnotes and then call them "References":

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{endnotes,lipsum}
\let\footnote\endnote
\renewcommand{\notesname}{References}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-6]\footnote{\lipsum[4][1-3]}
\lipsum[7-14]\footnote{\lipsum[5][1-3]}
\lipsum[15-17]\footnote{\lipsum[6][1-3]}
{\parindent 0pt\parskip 2ex
\def\enotesize{\normalsize}
\theendnotes}
\end{document}

But for a proper format, the best will be make a .bib file and manually replace the footnotes by citations commands and use bibtex or biblatex in a standard way.
