    Since the question mentions a journal I should warn that I am not aware of a lot for journals that can accept biblatex submissions. biblatex imposes quite a different workflow on publishers than standard BibTeX or thebibliography, plus publishers are known to prefer stable (read: older) systems, where incompatibilities with modern biblatex could arise. Many journals have LaTeX templates and those almost never feature biblatex and usually insist on particular .bst styles or thebibliography. 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.

Lastname, FS. Title. Publisher, 2001.



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" is nametitledelim, 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 add DeclareDelimFormat[bib]nametitledelimaddspace
