The title is usually too long; I might just give it during the talk.

Thanks for the tips. It sounds like a better approach, though with some manual efforts. I guess my end goal is to automatically generate these short citations as you have said given the bibliography, be it as a footnote or a short author-year description, which is also my first attempt: to implement such citation style in TeXmacs. However, my efforts did not prevail. Hence, I turn to the simple citation as I mentioned.

I just tried putting a regular bibliography at the end of a 'beamer' presentation and
after updating the document as for a regular document, I do obtain the correct citations.
The links even correctly send me to the last slide.
You do have to insert a correct bibliography, of course.

Did you try to export that document to PDF format and it worked? Clicking on the original tm file in TeXmacs does work. In my usual case, I would present my slides using the exported PDF document on another computer which has no TeXmacs installed.

Thanks for the detailed guide and tips!

Best regards,

Joy

Apology for the confusion. I meant the latter: ???citation of a bibliographic entry???.

Yes, I would agree. Citation of a bibliographic is not ideal for audience. Inserting them in footnote of each referenced slide would be better, but I don???t know how to accomplish that in TeXmacs. Maybe we need a style for it? I have tried that direction, but I failed??? I don???t have enough experience for that :(

What people usually do, is to show a shortened version of the citation,
without all details.

For instance, if I wish to cite a paper of David Harvey, myself,
and Grégoire Lecerf on multiplication, that appeared in Journal of the ACM,
then I would use [Harvey-vdH-Lecerf 2017] or [Harvey-vdH-Lecerf 2017, JACM].

But for now when I using images and other materials from others??? work in my slides, I would need to put reference (to some paper, and I would like to take advantage of BibTex) beside it. However, the standard exporting process does not produce the expected result, as shown in screenshots, hence the ???help me" email.
