Is there a way to prevent URLs from appearing in biblatex citations?

Question

I'd like to customize verbose biblatex citations to exclude URLs (and DOIs) while keeping them in the bibliography. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?

While I'm at it, I'd like to get rid of the "In: " that the verbose styles use (in both the bibliography and citations), and put the URLs and DOIs on separate lines in the bibliography.

Answer 1

I answer in order to all your questions

1. Every field in biblatex can be modified by the command DeclareFieldFormat. To change settins only at cite commands you can use the command \AtEveryCite.

   \AtEveryCite{%
     \DeclareFieldFormat{url}{}%
     \DeclareFieldFormat{urldate}{}%
     \DeclareFieldFormat{doi}{}%
    }
   

   Instead you can also use AtEveryBibitem.

2. The word "in" can be removed by redefining the macro in: as follow:

    \renewbibmacro*{in:}{} 
   

3. Extra line breaks can be done by expanding the relevant field formats.

    \DeclareFieldFormat{url}{\newline\mkbibacro{URL}\addcolon\space\url{#1}}
    \DeclareFieldFormat{doi}{\newline%
      \mkbibacro{DOI}\addcolon\space
      \ifhyperref
        {\href{http://dx.doi.org/#1}{\nolinkurl{#1}}}
        {\nolinkurl{#1}}}
   

Every definition can be found in the file biblatex.def

Here the complete code:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{References.bib}
@article{Sarukkai:2005,
author = {Sarukkai, S},
title = {Revisiting the 'unreasonable effectiveness' of mathematics},
journal = {Current science},
year = {2005},
url = {http://www.ias.ac.in/currsci/feb102005/415.pdf},
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{References.bib}
\AtEveryCite{%
 \DeclareFieldFormat{url}{}%
 \DeclareFieldFormat{urldate}{}%
 \DeclareFieldFormat{doi}{}%
}
\DeclareFieldFormat{url}{\newline\mkbibacro{URL}\addcolon\space\url{#1}}
\DeclareFieldFormat{doi}{\newline%
  \mkbibacro{DOI}\addcolon\space
  \ifhyperref
    {\href{http://dx.doi.org/#1}{\nolinkurl{#1}}}
    {\nolinkurl{#1}}}

\renewbibmacro*{in:}{} 

\begin{document}
This, \fullcite{Sarukkai:2005} includes the URL for the citation, which I don't want; thought I do want it in the bibliography.


\printbibliography
\end{document}
