Anybody have any idea on how to create the proper APA entry for an Executive Order in my .bib? I can't seem to find any guidance on what fields to use to make it work.
The reference should appear like this:
Exec. Order No. 13,423, 3 C.F.R. 3919. (2007).

If you want to do this with more than a hack, it would be best to use
biblatex
. Here's a sample using theapa

.bib
entry typeFirst we create a new bib entry type for executive orders. This allows us to enter the information properly rather than all in one line as would be necessary if you use the
misc
entry type. Most bibliography managers should allow you to create new entry types. So an@executiveorder
entry has the following fields:Plus an optional
Note
field.Then we use
biblatex
to create a new bibliography driver for this entry type.
