I'm currently finishing up my thesis and have some troubles getting the citation style I want. I tried to customise the authoryear style in biblatex but it's my first time using latex so I can't seem to wrap my head around the code.
I only have two types of entries in my library: articles and two masterthesis entries. I usually import articles directly from PubMed to JabRef (and don't change anything in the entry)
MWEB:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[natbib=true,backend=biber,style=authoryear,firstinits=true,uniquelist=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

I do however would like my bibliography to look like this
I want to show all author names, in this order : lastname, Initials of first names. When there are more than six authors, after the sixth author the rest should be abbreviated with et al.
Also with the citations in the text I do face some problems I wasn't able to recreate for a MWEB:
So sometimes the first initial of the first author is printed:
I use the natbib-comp mode (because I started of with bibtex and then switched to biblatex) so I want my citations to look like this:
(AuthorA et al., year; AuthorB et al., year) (AuthorA und AuthorB, year) each time only showing the last name and no additional initials of the first name!
If there are more than 3 authors, it should be abbreviated with et al. after the first author.
Thanks for any help!
[maxbibnames=6, minbibnames=6, maxcitenames=3, mincitenames=1]
. For the second point, I"m sure it can be obtained with a simple patch of thecite
bib macro.maxcitenames=2
alone should be enough if you don't change any othermax/min(cite)names
setting. For the name order see Guidelines for customizing biblatex stylesuniquelist=false
, see Set limit to one author when using “et al.” in biblatex as you had in your MWE.\DeclareNameAlias{default}{last-first}
should be\DeclareNameAlias{default}{family-given}
with newer versions ofbiblatex
. (But I'm not sure if you really need that when you have\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
already)
