Beamer with biblatex and pause: footnote reference on wrong slide

beamer add tag

bonanza

I am having troubles with the way I am using references with beamer (I, however, would like keep the footmark/footcitetext combination with biblatex if possible)


Here my snippet:

% !TeX spellcheck = en_US
% !TeX root = main.tex
% !BIB TS-program = biber
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[sorting=ydnt,style=verbose,autocite=footnote,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,maxnames=1,giveninits=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{bib.bib}
	@article{greenwade93,
		author  = "George D. Greenwade",
		title   = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
		year    = "1993",
		journal = "TUGBoat",
		volume  = "14",
		number  = "3",
		pages   = "342--351"
	}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{bib.bib}

\begin{document}
	\begin{frame}
		blabla \pause
		blubblub\footnotemark \pause
		asdasd
		\footcitetext{greenwade93}
	\end{frame}
	
	
\end{document}
```

which gives me ![Screenshot_20200308_223028.png](/image?hash=f011a1e81b08ab106db6f4925d9cf14640e09dd028a0f34162f864625a065dd5)

I would like to have the full footnote to appear on slide for the first time (when the corresponding text also appears). How to achieve this?

As a quick workaround, you could wrap `\footcitetext` in `\only<2->{...}`

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[sorting=ydnt,style=verbose,autocite=footnote,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,maxnames=1,giveninits=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{bib.bib}
	@article{greenwade93,
		author  = "George D. Greenwade",
		title   = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
		year    = "1993",
		journal = "TUGBoat",
		volume  = "14",
		number  = "3",
		pages   = "342--351"
	}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{bib.bib}

\begin{document}
	\begin{frame}
		blabla \pause
		blubblub\footnotemark{} \pause
		asdasd
		\only<2->{\footcitetext{greenwade93}}
	\end{frame}
	
	
\end{document}
```

In case it bothers you that the footnoterule won't be visible on the first slide, this can be solved like this:

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[sorting=ydnt,style=verbose,autocite=footnote,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,maxnames=1,giveninits=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{bib.bib}
	@article{greenwade93,
		author  = "George D. Greenwade",
		title   = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
		year    = "1993",
		journal = "TUGBoat",
		volume  = "14",
		number  = "3",
		pages   = "342--351"
	}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{bib.bib}

\begin{document}
	\begin{frame}
		blabla \pause
		blubblub\footnotemark{} \pause
		asdasd
    \only<1>{\let\thefootnote\relax\footnotetext{~}}
		\only<2->{\footcitetext{greenwade93}}
	\end{frame}
	
	
\end{document}
```

I know that you would like to keep the footmark/footcitetext combination, but just for completeness a third option that uses `\fullcite` within a footnote. This will ensure the same vertical placement on all slides.

```
\documentclass{beamer}

\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[sorting=ydnt,style=verbose,autocite=superscript,doi=false,isbn=false,url=false,maxnames=1,giveninits=true]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{bib.bib}
	@article{greenwade93,
		author  = "George D. Greenwade",
		title   = "The {C}omprehensive {T}ex {A}rchive {N}etwork ({CTAN})",
		year    = "1993",
		journal = "TUGBoat",
		volume  = "14",
		number  = "3",
		pages   = "342--351"
	}
\end{filecontents*}

\addbibresource{bib.bib}

\begin{document}
	\begin{frame}
		blabla \pause
		blubblub\footnote<2->{\fullcite{greenwade93}} \pause
		asdasd
	\end{frame}
	
	
\end{document}
```
