Does anyone know how to enter a document released by an organization (such as the government) with no specific author into BiBTeX? For example, I'd like to cite a report released in 2008 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development called "American Housing Survey for the United States: 2007, Current Housing Reports". I'm using the apalike bibstyle. I was hoping for a citation such as:
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. (2008). American Housing Survey for the United States: 2007, Current Housing Reports.
Any help?
BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Organizational document with no author
NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.
And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Organizational document with no author
You could use the @misc entry type in your database. See BibTeX manual (Section 3 - The Entries, p. 7ff) for more information.

Re: Organizational document with no author
The MISC document type did not work. Instead, I have enclosed "U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development" in brackets {} in the author field of the TECHREPORT document class. This keeps that string in the bibliography exactly as typed, and the citation in the text is correct as well. Hopefully this will help others...
