BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Bibliography: manual without an author

[lieselotter]

Hi,
I have some problems with representing references (in the text and also in the bibliography itself), when there is no author specified, for instance in a user manual. It gives an (???) instead... How can I fix this?

part of the bibfile:

@manual{equitensiometer:99,
title = {Equitensiometer. Soil matric potential sensor, Type EQ2, User Manual},
organization = {Delta-T Devices},
adress = {128 Low Road, Burwell, Cambridge CB5 0EJ, England},
year = {1999}
}

I tried already to put the company as an author, but it gives problems because it exists of different words

Regards
Lieselotter

Hello,

a manual has an editor. In your case I would say the editor is Delta-T Devices. You can use an other strink like misc. There you don't need an author.

Thanks for the answer!

It works indeed like this to put everything in the bibliography, but still the name 'Delta-T Devices' doesn't appear when I refer to it in my text. The problem is that it takes only 1 word or not even the whole word...

Hello,

you can put the editor in extra brackets: Here an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,english,parskip=half]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\def\clap#1{\hbox to 0pt{\hss #1\hss}}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{filecontents}{buch.bib}
 @manual{equitensiometer:99,
editor={{Delta-T Devices}},
title = {Equitensiometer. Soil matric potential sensor, Type EQ2, User Manual},
organization = {Delta-T Devices},
adress = {128 Low Road, Burwell, Cambridge CB5 0EJ, England},
year = {1999}
}
\end{filecontents}
\usepackage{natbib}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Kapitel}
\blindtext
\citet{equitensiometer:99}

\bibliographystyle{chicago}
\bibliography{buch}

\end{document}
