Abbreviate author names as “Lastname AB” (without space or period) in bibliography
I want My journal wants author names to be abbreviated as "Lastname, FS" in the bibliography, but haven't found a way to do this after some excessive searching. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Here is MWE that shows how I don't want it to be
documentclass{article}
usepackage[backend=biber,giveninits=true]{biblatex}
DeclareNameAlias{author}{last-first}
addbibresource{jobname.bib}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}
@book{key,
author = {Lastname, First Second},
year = {2001},
title = {Title},
publisher = {Publisher},
}
end{filecontents}
begin{document}
cite{key}
printbibliography
end{document}
Result:
biblatex biber

Since the question mentions a journal I should warn that I am not aware of a lot for journals that can acceptbiblatexsubmissions.biblateximposes quite a different workflow on publishers than standard BibTeX orthebibliography, plus publishers are known to prefer stable (read: older) systems, where incompatibilities with modernbiblatexcould arise. Many journals have LaTeX templates and those almost never featurebiblatexand usually insist on particular.bststyles orthebibliography. See also tex.stackexchange.com/q/12175/35864

The option terseinits does that for you. terseinits is a meta-option that essentially executes the following definitions
renewrobustcmd*{bibinitperiod}{}
renewrobustcmd*{bibinitdelim}{}
renewrobustcmd*{bibinithyphendelim}{}
and sets the test ifterseinits (that test is not used by a lot of styles, apparently, so it hardly matters).
If you want a more fine-grained control, you can redefine these macros yourself. They do pretty much what their names suggest: bibinitperiod is the punctuation after a name initial, bibinitdelim the space between two name initials and bibinithyphendelim replaces the two between hyphenated name parts such as Jean-Jacques.
documentclass{article}
usepackage[backend=biber, giveninits=true, terseinits=true]{biblatex}
DeclareNameAlias{author}{family-given}
usepackage{filecontents}
begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}
@book{key,
author = {Lastname, First Second},
year = {2001},
title = {Title},
publisher = {Publisher},
}
end{filecontents}
addbibresource{jobname.bib}
begin{document}
cite{key}
printbibliography
end{document}
Note that I changed the deprecated last-first to the new family-given, since you are already using the new name giveninits (cf. Biblatex 3.3 name formatting).
If you are using authoryear, you may want to redefine sortname and not only author:

The last period after "FS" isnametitledelim, i.e. the separator between the name and the title, and not a dot for the initials. If it should go as well, you may want to addDeclareDelimFormat[bib]{nametitledelim}{addspace}

That's perfect, thanks! I usestyle=authoryear, so the last period after "FS" doesn't show up, but it's nice to know anyway.
