I'm trying to create a BibTeX citation for a taxonomic illustration (to add the work to my ORCID, if it matters), but I can't seem to figure out what tags are appropriate here. For reference, the full-text citation (I'm using the journal Ecology's citation format) would be something like this:
Author, B.B. Phyton novum. [Illustration] In Author, A.A. (2000). New species of Phyton from Mars. Novon: A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature 1(100): 5.
I get how to format the citation for the article itself:
@article{Author_2000,
year=2000, month={jan}, volume = {1}, number = {100}, pages = {5},
author = {Alice A. Author},
title = {New species of \textit{Phyton} from Mars},
journal = {Novon: A Journal for Botanical Nomenclature},
publisher = {Missouri Botanical Garden Press}}
How should I modify that, though, when the work being cited is a figure within that article? I'd use inbook
or incollection
, but the parent work is a journal article rather than a book.

The usual way is
\cite[Figure~5]{Author_2000}
. Conceptually it is the same as\cite[Chapter~2]{Book}
or\cite[p.~4]{Article}
. You do not create a new reference, you pin your reference to a specific place in the source.UPDATE
Looks like OP wanted to have a separate citation for a figure with the author different from the book author. Ok, here is how to do this:
