I'm working on a scientific beamer presentation. One demand is to put numbered references relevant to each slide into its footnotes. Apart from space concerns, this also leads to a number of questions:
- \footcite obviously creates a footmark wherever it's used. But since my references are supposed to be relevant for the entire slide, as opposed to, say, one bullet point, I want to suppress the footmark from appearing. In this question, the usage of \footnotetext has been proposed, but can this help for BibLaTeX' \footcite command, or do we need some kind of workaround?
- Ideally, I want the footnote to be of the form "[X] full reference", so again we need to suppress the footnote mark at the front. The "X" would be the number corresponding to the citation order. One idea to realize this could be to cite once using numeric style, and a second time with verbose style. But then how to get rid of the footnote mark?
As wished, here's a minimal example:
\documentclass{beamer}
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\setbeamerfont{footnote}{size=\tiny}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{test-bib.bib}
@online{firstSource,
title = "This is my first source",
author = "Robert Petersson",
url = "https://www.my-new-website.org/firstSub/secondSub/thirdSub.htm", % As to simulate realistically long URLs
}
@article{secondSource,
author = "Peter Parker",
title = "Another Source",
journaltitle = "Unknown Journal",
date = "2012-12-21",
url = "https://www.example.org",
urldate = "2012-12-30"
}
@image{anImageSource,
author = "Image Creator",
title = "Paper in which image was found",
date = "2013-04-05"}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[
sorting=none, % Use citation order
style=numeric % Primarily cite numbers
% style=verbose % Primarily cite full reference
]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{test-bib.bib}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{My test frame}
\footnotetext[1]{\cite{firstSource} \fullcite{firstSource}}
\footnotetext[2]{\cite{secondSource} \fullcite{secondSource}}
\footnotetext[3]{\cite{anImageSource} \fullcite{anImageSource}}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[width=.3\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{Example Image A\footnotemark[3]}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
So, in short: How do I realize footnotes of the form "[X] full reference", completely suppressing all of the little numbers footnotes usually produce? The \fullcite which Marijn suggested already comes quite close to it. Now just how to get rid of the footnote marks?
\fullcite

, see for example tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13272/…. In general it would help if you could provide an example presentation with one slide and maybe two references, to give a starting point for writing answers that address your issue.
