Latex adds a "In:" in the references of my bibliography

Question

I had some difficulties making my references look the way I wanted in my document.

Currently, I am using these parameters for biblatex:

\usepackage[backend=bibtex, url=false, style=authoryear, syle=verbose-ibid, maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}

I then just do a \printbibliography at the end of my document to display all my references.

I had struggles showing all the authors name instead of et al., I also add struggles with automatic ibid showing but I managed to repair all that with the different parameters I added in the \usepackage[...]{biblatex}

Now the only thing I want to change is this annoying "In:." as shown here: the 'In:' problem

As you can see, the In: shows the journal of the article. I want the journal to be shown, but simply not the "In:". It also makes no sense as when there is no journal specified it just shows a weird "In:." as we can see on the second reference

Here is the example of the bib where there is just this "In:." :

@article{burke2008coastal,
  title={Coastal capital: economic valuation of coral reefs in Tobago and St. Lucia.},
  author={Burke, Lauretta and Greenhalgh, Suzie and Prager, Daniel and Cooper, Emily and others},
  year={2008},
  publisher={World Resources Institute}
}

If you have any idea, it would help me a lot !

Answer 1

• You can use \renewbibmacro{in:}{} to completely remove the In:

• But maybe check if article is really a suitable entry type if there is no journal. The one you show in your question looks more like a report than an article ...

• There is also a typo, it should be style and not syle (although it makes not much sense to load two styles...)

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[backend=bibtex, url=false, style=authoryear, style=verbose-ibid, maxbibnames=99]{biblatex}

\begin{filecontents*}[overwrite]{\jobname.bib}
@article{burke2008coastal,
  title={Coastal capital: economic valuation of coral reefs in Tobago and St. Lucia.},
  author={Burke, Lauretta and Greenhalgh, Suzie and Prager, Daniel and Cooper, Emily and others},
  year={2008},
  publisher={World Resources Institute}
}

\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\renewbibmacro{in:}{}

\begin{document}

\cite{burke2008coastal}

\printbibliography


\end{document}
