I'm using apaciteThe apacite
package documentation indicates I need the apacdoc
package to cite songs, so I've included that as well. What's not clear to me is which bibtex fields should be added for the album and recording date.
dessa.bib:
@misc{mineshaft,
author="Dessa",
title="Mineshaft"
year="2010",
}
dessa.tex:
\documentclass[man,12pt,apacite]{apa6}
\usepackage{apacite}
\usepackage{apacdoc}
\usepackage{url}
\title{The Title}
\shorttitle{Title}
\author{Insyte}
\affiliation{My School}
\note{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
Dessa is a Minneapolis native ``underrated writer, overrated rapper''
\citesong{mineshaft} who performs with the alt-hip-hop collective, Doomtree.
\bibliography{dessa}
\end{document}
The output I get from that is this:
Dessa is a Minneapolis native “underrated writer, overrated rapper”
Dessa who performs with the alt-hip-hop collective, Doomtree.
Note the citation consists of just the string "Dessa," without parenthesis or the rest of the citation. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Best Answer
For citing songs,
apacdoc
provides the command:and you should refer to it through a
key
field in this way:So, your
dessa.bib
can be changed to:There is just one problem:
\bibsong
command was thought to cite classical music and has a 4th argument for the number of the track. But you can change that argument to whatever you want (e.g. album, label).
