BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ BibLaTeX & Mendeley | Remove obsolete Data from Bibliography

[Natasz]

I recently started using Mendeley and got very excited about the fact that it searches for all the data about the articles I didn't have before - it gets the URLs, the DOIs, the ISSNs and whatnot. I was only happy until I realised that once I export all this info to a .bib file and compile a paper in .pdf, it gets printed in my bibliographies! I don't need all of my bibliography entries to provide ISSNs and DOIs, but it seems that it is just printed by default.

I'm using BibLaTeX and the authoryear bibliography style, and in the compiled bibliography I get things like:
Stecker, Robert (1990). 'The Boundaries of Art'. In: The British Journal of Aesthetics 30.3, pp. 266272. issn: 0007-0904. doi: 10.1093/bjaesthetics/30.3.266. url: http://bjaesthetics.oxfordjournals.org/ ... s/30.3.266 .

I don't want any of this information, but neither do I want to clear it from my Mendeley database. I tried various bibstyle commands, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?

Problem solved, I figured it out by accident. Seems like I was running an old version of biblatex which did not allow the [DOI=false] etc. options.

Incidentally, thank you for a prompt and exhaustive reply, this forum is really useful, have to say :/

You might also want to look at the biber backed to biblatex - as of version 0.9.4 it can suppress arbitrary fields in your data source, not just DOI etc. It can also re-map fields and entrytypes to others.
