bibliography in Beamer

Question

In Beamer, bibliography is displayed in the way that authors, title and journals are in three lines. Here is an example.

Since I have many references, I am wondering, whether we can put them in one line to save some space? Another option is whether we can split the references into several slides?

Answer 1

For splitting the references up into several slides, use the allowframebreaks option, as in:

\begin{frame}[allowframebreaks]
        \frametitle{References}
        \bibliographystyle{amsalpha}
        \bibliography{../bib_files/jabrefmaster.bib}
\end{frame}

For the "three line splitting", this is because you either composed a bibliography list with the \newblock command built-in, or are using a \bibliographystyle that inserts the \newblock command. Your choices are to either drop the \newblocks (either edit them out or using a different style), or modify how beamer handle's the command.

From the link, setting the following in the preamble should work:

\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry title}{}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry location}{}
\setbeamertemplate{bibliography entry note}{}
