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}

17That won't work for packages where
\itemsepis already zero. Better to use\setlength\bibitemsep{0.5\baselineskip}or something document-related. Jun 19 '16 at 21:49
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}

3Mhhh, a Biber update should have nothing to do with that. A
biblatexupdate might just, but it is extremely unlikely I would say. The more likely explanation is that your documentclass sets\itemsepto a small value so that you can't tell1.5\itemsepfrom\itemsep. Without an example it is of course hard to say ...– moeweApr 1 '16 at 16:33
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.

How is the different from the previous answer (except for the changes in the separation). Welcome to TEXSE. Jul 31 '19 at 7:21

Yes you are right. I'm not familiar with the interface. Thanks for welcoming me. Jul 31 '19 at 11:32

Indeed, I think this is more of a comment than an answer. Could you move it to the comment? In case, if you cannot do so (due to reputation), let me know, I will do it on behalf of you :) Jul 31 '19 at 11:45

The default size of
\bibitemsepas defined inbiblatex.defis\setlength{\bibitemsep}{\itemsep}, see l. 292 ofbiblatex.def. Somebiblatexstandard styles set\bibitemepto0pt(authortitle- andauthoryear-based styles), but none sets it to1.5\itemsep. Maybe the\itemsepin your document is zero?– moeweAug 3 '19 at 6:45
