BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Showing series and number for @misc

[Lena2]

Hello,
I am using biblatex with natbib and the the authoryear style.
Here is a minimal example of my setup:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,titlepage,onecolumn]{article}   
\usepackage[ngerman, english]{babel}
\usepackage[babel, german=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage[natbib=true, style=authoryear, sorting=nyt, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=999, hyperref=true, isbn=false, doi=false,backend=biber,dashed=false]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{MA-Lit.bib}
\begin{document}  
\citep{Priller.2005}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

And here is the reference:

Code: Select all

@misc{Priller.2005,
 author = {Priller, Eckhard and Sommerfeld, Jana},
 year = {2005},
 title = {Wer spendet in Deutschland? Eine sozialstrukturelle Analyse},
 number = {SP I 2005-202},
 series = {Discussion Papers},
 editor = {{Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin f{\"u}r Sozialforschung}}
}

The problem is that the series and number do not show up in the bibliography. How can I change this?
Thank you very much for your help!

Are you sure you don't want to use the @article entry type in this case? For miscellaneous entries a series and number within that series don't make much sense, while articles are more common to be published as part of a series. See also section 2.3.7 of the biblatex manual. Since Biblatex just ignores fields that make no sense to that entrytype these fields are not output in the references when you have the type set to misc.

The code below does show the series and editor:

Code: Select all

\begin{filecontents}{MA-Lit.bib}
@article{Priller.2005,
 author = {Priller, Eckhard and Sommerfeld, Jana},
 year = {2005},
 title = {Wer spendet in Deutschland? Eine sozialstrukturelle Analyse},
 number = {SP I 2005-202},
 series = {Discussion Papers},
 editor = {{Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin f{\"u}r Sozialforschung}}
}
\end{filecontents}

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,titlepage,onecolumn]{article}   
\usepackage[ngerman, english]{babel}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[babel, german=quotes]{csquotes}
\usepackage[natbib=true, style=authoryear, sorting=nyt, maxcitenames=2, maxbibnames=999, hyperref=true, isbn=false, doi=false,backend=biber,dashed=false]{biblatex}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\addbibresource{MA-Lit.bib}
\begin{document}  
\citep{Priller.2005}
\printbibliography
\end{document}

Thanks for your reply, hugovdberg! It's working
I thought it was bad style to just use article when in fact it is "only" a discussion paper.
