BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Inbook/incollection in Biblatex not displaying correctly

[arnyeisntein]

Hi

Using biblatex to cite a chapter in a book or a collection leads to a bibliography that doesn't seem to be correct: Here an example

Jaccard, Mark (2009). “Combining top down and bottom up in energy economy models”. In: ed. by Joanne Evans and Lester C. Hunt. Edward Elgar. Chap. International Handbook on the Economics of Energy, pp. 311–332.

would expect the book/collection title after In: and don't know why there is a "Chap." in the citation.
I updated miktex, but the problem remains.
Here the code that reproduces on my computer the example above.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, isbn=false, url=false,
 doi=false, backend=biber,defernumbers=true,uniquename=false, autolang=hyphen,bibencoding=UTF-8]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{sample.bib}
@InCollection{Jaccard2009,
  author    = {Mark Jaccard},
  title     = {Combining top down and bottom up in energy economy models},
  publisher = {Edward Elgar},
  year      = {2009},
  editor    = {Joanne Evans and Hunt, Lester C.},
  chapter   = {{International Handbook on the Economics of Energy}},
  pages     = {311-332},
  timestamp = {2019-05-28},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{sample.bib} 

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

Anybody know what is going on here?

Thanks

Usage of wrong fields or wrong entry type. incollection uses either booktitle or crossref as the collection and title as the article title in this collection. So

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, isbn=false, url=false,
 doi=false, backend=biber,defernumbers=true,uniquename=false, autolang=hyphen,bibencoding=UTF-8]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@InCollection{Jaccard2009,
  author    = {Mark Jaccard},
  booktitle     = {Combining top down and bottom up in energy economy models},
  publisher = {Edward Elgar},
  year      = {2009},
  editor    = {Joanne Evans and Hunt, Lester C.},
  title     = {International Handbook on the Economics of Energy},
  pages     = {311-332},
  timestamp = {2019-05-28},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib} 

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

would give the expected result (as I understand your question). Alternatively you could try

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage[style=authoryear, isbn=false, url=false,
 doi=false, backend=biber,defernumbers=true,uniquename=false, autolang=hyphen,bibencoding=UTF-8]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Jaccard2009,
  author    = {Mark Jaccard},
  title     = {Combining top down and bottom up in energy economy models},
  publisher = {Edward Elgar},
  year      = {2009},
  editor    = {Joanne Evans and Hunt, Lester C.},
  chapter   = {International Handbook on the Economics of Energy},
  pages     = {311-332},
  timestamp = {2019-05-28},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib} 

\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\printbibliography

\end{document}

with a somehow different result.
