agree  Rachel Douglas: And it might be possible to omit "within the article" or somehow combine those two prepositional phrases: "in the article's limited space", or smething like that.

highly condensed ... [given the] space limitations


Explanation:
In view of your discussion entries, it seems it might work to ditch a literal translation altogether and say:

... a highly condensed bibliographical format ...

with or without, in the different instances, some additional phrase like "given [because of] the article's space limitations".

Once it's established, you could refer to it again as "the highly condensed bibliographical format" or even, perhaps, as "the 'shorthand' bibliographical format."

neutral  Rachel Douglas: But the asker said this refers to the bibliographical list. Also, referring to "space" is desirable, because "limited article" could also be a qualitative characterization.
