    Please show us a full example (and MWE/MWEB) not just snippets. And include the two example entries as .bib entries.

  • Because there is no MWE I can't say for sure yet, but it seems to me that the title field of the @incollection reads title = {Criminology: Re-Imagining Security and Risk.}, with a full stop at the end. That confuses biblatex's punctuation tracker. Remove it and the comma should appear as desired.

  • BTW: Is there any reason why you copied the code snippet with changed indentation? I noticed that in another question (tex.stackexchange.com/q/439086/35864) a few minutes ago. I normally try to use readable indentation in my answers, and while there are several styles of indentation and you need not agree with my choice I feel that the indentation in your question is just arbitrary and makes the whole thing much harder to read.

  • Thanks for changing the indentation. I must say that I was more interested in why and how the change in indentation happened, especially considering that I saw something similar just moments ago. (Does it have to do with your editor?) My primary goal was not to pressure you into changing the indentation. I would however like to pressure you into showing us a fully working example.

  • @moewe Off-topic: I don't know how this came about for the OP, but I believe auto-indentation in Emacs would produce something similar to the original post (as far as I get it, it recognizes open braces and similar constructs, but not the conditional by itself).

renewbibmacro*{in:}{%
setunit{addcommaspace}%
ifentrytype{article}
{}
{printtext{%
bibstring{in}intitlepunct}}}

renewcommand*{intitlepunct}{addspace}


is the correct solution for what you want.



But there is a slight catch to this that becomes apparent when we use the code with the minimal example from your question Why can't my MWE see the references?.



If you have additionally modified the field format of the title field (I'm speculating here, because you have not shared an MWE, but it is not entirely outlandish that such a thing happened because you must have modified the style heavily to obtain the output you show) the periods that you placed at the ends of the fields of froestad2015Criminology could confuse biblatex's punctuation tracker.

enter image description here



biblatex tries to suppress double punctuation and so the full stop at the end of




“Criminology: Re-Imagining Security and Risk.”




suppresses the comma that would normally follow it because a full stop can not be followed by a comma.



The effect is not really visible (if you look really closely it is actually) for the




Security: Dialogue across Disciplines.




because that would be followed by a full stop anyway (but if you have the . in the booktitle field the period is in italics, while it is upright if biblatex adds it itself).



The comma is not suppressed in




Cambridge University Press., 2015




because biblatex (incorrectly in this field) assumes that a . in the publisher field always signifies an abbreviation after which a comma is fine.



The solution is to remove the superfluous periods from your .bib file.



@incollection {froestad2015Criminology,
author = {Froestad, J. and Shearing, C. and {Van der Merwe}, M.},
title = {Criminology: Re-Imagining Security and Risk},

    As I was trying to accomplish the same result sought in the question posed (save that I need commas inside quote marks), I was pleased to read @moewe's solution to the problem. In implementing it, I noticed an unwanted period appearing so as to produce "in." for entries of the bookinbook and inbook types, and jammed text in some entries of the article and incollection types. I found that this was eliminable by a slight addition to the last line so as to read renewcommand*{intitlepunct}{nopunctaddspace}.

        biblatex tries to suppress double punctuation and so the full stop at the end of




        “Criminology: Re-Imagining Security and Risk.”




        suppresses the comma that would normally follow it because a full stop can not be followed by a comma.



        The effect is not really visible (if you look really closely it is actually) for the




        Security: Dialogue across Disciplines.




        because that would be followed by a full stop anyway (but if you have the . in the booktitle field the period is in italics, while it is upright if biblatex adds it itself).



        The comma is not suppressed in




        Cambridge University Press., 2015




        because biblatex (incorrectly in this field) assumes that a . in the publisher field always signifies an abbreviation after which a comma is fine.



        The solution is to remove the superfluous periods from your .bib file.

          If you have additionally modified the field format of the title field (I'm speculating here, because you have not shared an MWE, but it is not entirely outlandish that such a thing happened because you must have modified the style heavily to obtain the output you show) the periods that you placed at the ends of the fields of froestad2015Criminology could confuse biblatex's punctuation tracker.

              As I was trying to accomplish the same result sought in the question posed (save that I need commas inside quote marks), I was pleased to read @moewe's solution to the problem. In implementing it, I noticed an unwanted period appearing so as to produce "in." for entries of the bookinbook and inbook types, and jammed text in some entries of the article and incollection types. I found that this was eliminable by a slight addition to the last line so as to read renewcommand*{intitlepunct}{nopunctaddspace}.
