My bibliography (made with biblatex) has all items close to each other. I would like to introduce some space between them, e.g. half a line.
How can I do this?

increase one of the lengths:
\bibitemsep
length between two different entries, preset to \itemsep
\bibnamesep
length between two entries of different authors
\bibinitsep
length between two entries of authors with different first letter
For example, if you want to increase the \bibitemsep
by 50%, you could use:
\setlength\bibitemsep{1.5\itemsep}
\itemsep
is already zero. Better to use \setlength\bibitemsep{0.5\baselineskip}
or something document-related.

I've used the answer given by Herbert, but it didn't work for me. This could be probably due to the recent update of biber
to v2.4 (March 2016).
Hereby, I propose an alternative that worked for me (i.e. introducing a space between the bibentries in the list):
\setlength\bibitemsep{\baselineskip}
You've to put this in the preamble right after \usepackage{biblatex}
biblatex
update might just, but it is extremely unlikely I would say. The more likely explanation is that your documentclass sets \itemsep
to a small value so that you can't tell 1.5\itemsep
from \itemsep
. Without an example it is of course hard to say ...

I've used the answer given by Herbert, but it didn't work for me too. It was because {1.5\itemsep} is the default size. \setlength\bibitemsep{5\itemsep}
produced what I wanted to.
\bibitemsep
as defined in biblatex.def
is \setlength{\bibitemsep}{\itemsep}
, see l. 292 of biblatex.def
. Some biblatex
standard styles set \bibitemep
to 0pt
(authortitle
- and authoryear
-based styles), but none sets it to 1.5\itemsep
. Maybe the \itemsep
in your document is zero?
