Book with organisation as title

Post by cawright »

This page gives an example:

https://irsc.libguides.com/APA/Bookwith ... onasAuthor

I have this reference

Author:
Australian Commission on Safety
Quality in Health Care

Title:
National consensus statement: essential elements for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration

The format of the citation in my document is:
Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, 2010, #224049
(Safety & Care, 2010)
The format in the bibliography (APA7) of my document ends up:
Safety, A. C. O., & Care, Q. I. H. (2010). National consensus statement: essential elements for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration. ACSQHC Sydney.
I have chosen "Book" as the type of document.

How do get Bookends to use the full name of the organisation in this setting?

with thanks

Terminate the institutional name with a comma:

Australian Commission on Safety Quality in Health Care,

Thanks for the speedy response (as usual!)

In Bookends, I now have:
Australian Commission on Safety
Quality in Health Care,
in the Author field (with the comma)

and
National consensus statement: essential elements for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration
in the Title field.

(and Year = 2010)

The reference is set to Book.

When I run the scan (from Mellel), I get:
(Safety & Quality in Health Care, 2010)
as the citation, and
Safety, A. C. O., & Quality in Health Care. (2010). National consensus statement: essential elements for recognising and responding to clinical deterioration. ACSQHC Sydney.
in the bibliography (and in the Formatted References section of Bookends)

Again, thanks for the help!


in the bibliography.

SOLVED THE PROBLEM.

The author field was, indeed,
Australian Commission on Safety
Quality in Health Care,
INCLUDING the newline at the end of the first line - which I guess told Bookends there were two authors.

So, removing that now gives me:
(Australian Commission on Safety Quality in Health Care, 2010)
as desired!

newbie error...
