Bibtex export, when author is an organization

Post by vectorchem »

Hello,

Is there a way to correctly export the author field correctly from Bookends to Bibtex, if the author is an organization, e.g., European Commission

Code: Select all

author = "{European Commission}",
in order to avoid that it is interpreted as Last Name, First Name.

Thank you.

Enter the organization name with a comma

European Commission,

Thank you!

I initially did as you suggest, but the Bibtex output generated by Bookends looks like this

Code: Select all

@Article{EUReg5762006,
author = {European Commission},
rather than

Code: Select all

@Article{EUReg5762006,
author = "{European Commission}",
so Bookends does not add the necessary quotation marks before and after the curly brackets.

Bookends doesn't do that. You'll have to post-process the output manually to add the quote marks.
