BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Author Name Formatting

[jimstehrman]

Hey,

I have a report I need to put into my reference page, where the author is an organization, so I can't have "Westbank First Nation Government" become "First Nation Government W."
How can I do this? Is there a formatting override in the source code?
I'm using JabRef.

Bonus question: How can I change the title of my bibliography page from "Bibliography" to "Reference"?

Thanks!

Hi,

perhaps use curly braces around the author name. Or tell us the bibliography style you are using - Jabref is a front-end.

Regarding the other question, redefine the macro \bibname or \refname, depending on your document class. If you use babel, use \addto for it.

There's no code yet because you did not post code and there are too many options. It would be easier if you tell us document class, bibliography style, used packages etc. - the best is a minimal working example.

Ok, sorry for being vague, I've been trying to fix this for hours, hahaha.
Here is an MWE

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage{apalike}
\begin{document}

%Title Page + Essay
\cite{Westbank2006}
%more stuff

\bibliographystyle{apalike}
\bibliography{mwe}
\end{document}

Where MWE refers to this source code from Bibtex (generated by Jabref)

Code: Select all

@BOOK{Westbank2006,
  title = {Westbank {F}irst {N}ation {S}elf-{G}overnment {A}nnual {R}eport 2006},
  publisher = {Westbank, BC, Canada: 2006},
  author = {Westbank {F}irst {N}ation {S}elf-{G}overnment},
  owner = {jkehrman},
  timestamp = {2011.06.05}
}

producing this output:

First Nation Self Government, W. Westbank First Nation Self-Government Annual Report 2006. Westbank, BC, Canada: 2006.

Thanks again!

Try:

Code: Select all

author = {{Westbank First Nation Self-Government}},
