BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Referencing institution rather than surname

[snowfrog]

Hi,

Instead of referencing an author, I would like to reference an institution e.g. LaTeX Community. If in my *bib file I have

Code: Select all

@article{LatCom}, % same with @misc
author="LateX Community"

when I cite in the text with \cite{LatCom} I get

bla bla Community(2010) bla bla

rather than what I want

bla bla LaTeX Community(2010) bla bla

So my question is how to get the name of the whole institution rather than in effect what BibTex think is the surname (i.e. Community) only?

I am using natbib, \bibliographystyle{apalike}

Thanks!

You need an extra set of braces around the name, so that BibTeX does not try to do a first name/surname separation.

Code: Select all

author="{LaTeX Community}"

I think it's preferable to only protect the space, as in

Code: Select all

author="LaTeX{ }Community"

, so that a bibliography style that puts the author in all caps may do so. In this case

Code: Select all

author="La{T}e{X C}ommunity"

might be even better. (My guess is, however, that it's more common for the style to alter the casing of the title than of the authors.)

Thank you for all your suggestions. Works a treat!
