BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Corporation as author with apacite

[scheydec]

Hi all,

I'm using BibTeX, and apacite (with Papers on a Mac, in case that matters).

I have a publication that is an advertisement that I want to cite, but I can't figure out how to get it to display correctly.

The author should be "Hudson Motor Car Company", but it keeps getting shortened to HMC Company, or if I put it in quotes, it comes out has HMC Company in the LaTeX file. I've tried setting the publication type to Miscellaneous and that didn't help.

I tried manually editing the .bib file, putting it in quotes there, and that didn't help either.

In my .tex document, I have

Code: Select all

\cite{Hudson1939}

and

Code: Select all

\bibliographystyle{apacite}

The .bib file has

Code: Select all

@miscellaneous{Hudson1939,
author = {Hudson Motor Car Company}, 
journal = {Popular Mechanics},
title = {The Ride of Your Life Waits for You},
number = {5},
pages = {5A},
volume = {72},
year = {1939},
date-added = {2010-10-16 01:27:15 -0400},
date-modified = {2010-10-16 16:15:19 -0400},
local-url = {file://localhost/Users/me/Desktop/PopMech.pdf},
uri = {papers://38198467-8124-4565-A531-32C96C398156/Paper/p220},
read = {Yes},
rating = {0}
}

In the text it comes out as

(Company, 1939)

and

Company, H. M. C. (1939). The ride of your life waits for you (Vol. 72) (No. 5).

If I put quotes around Hudson Motor Car Company .bib file, it just adds a quote after the word Company in both places.

I can't be the first person to ever try to cite a corporation as the author of an advertisement or manual in an APA style of LaTeX document, so what am I doing wrong?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
S.

I just figured it out! I needed to use "bibcorporate" (and an extra set of braces), which I never found in a web search, because I kept using "company" or "corporaTION".
