I want to refer the documentation of biblatex:
\footcite[ prenote ][ postnote ]{ key }
\footcitetext[ prenote ][ postnote ]{ key }
These command use a format similar to \cite but
put the entire citation in a footnote and add a period at the end. In
the footnote, they automatically capitalize the name prefix of the
first name if the useprefix option is enabled, provided that there
is a name prefix and the citation style prints any name at all.
\footcitetext differs from \footcite in that it uses
\footnotetext instead of \footnote.
You can see that this behavior is independently from beamer.
\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[style=verbose,autocite=footnote,maxnames=10,babel=hyphen,hyperref=true,abbreviate=false,backend=biber,mcite]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}
\begin{document}
Test\footcite{ctan,companion}
Test\footcites{ctan}{companion}
Test\mfootcite{ctan,companion}
Test\footcite{ctan}\footcite{companion}
\end{document}
You can create you own command. My first idea is very simple:
\newrobustcmd*\footcitesep[1]{%
\forcsvlist{\footcite}{#1}%
}
\footcites{key1}{key2}, or\mfootcite{key1,key2}with themcitepackage option. In any case, you'll get a simple marker in the text (it's a single footnote, after all), and a semicolon separated list of the references associated tokey1,key2in the footnote text. – Gonzalo Medina Aug 30 '11 at 1:28\cite{key1,key2}– pluton Aug 30 '11 at 2:24
