I am using biblatex-apa
with the apa6.cls
.
In the text I cite several versions of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders) by the American Psychiatric Association (APA):
@book{APA1994,
author={{American Psychiatric Association}},
shortauthor = {APA},
year={1994},
title="{Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders: {DSM-IV}}",
publisher={Autor},
edition = {4th ed.},
address={Washington, DC},
}
@book{APA2000,
title = {Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: {DSM-IV-TR}},
edition = {4th ed., text rev.},
publisher = {Autor},
author = {{American Psychiatric Association}},
shortauthor = {APA},
year = {2000},
address={Washington, DC},
}
@book{APA2013,
author = {{American Psychiatric Association}},
shortauthor = {APA},
address = {Washington, {DC}},
edition = {5th ed.},
title = {Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders: {DSM-5}},
publisher = {Autor},
year = {2013},
}
When I first cite f. e.
\parencite{APA1994}
I get the correct output:
(American Psychiatric Association [APA], 1994)
When I cite that a second time, I get (which is also correct):
(APA, 1994)
However, when I cite another publication with \parencite{APA2000}
then after that, I get:
(American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2000)
But, as this publication has the same author as cited before, I want the shortauthor to be put there, like:
(APA, 2000)
How do I achieve that?
