[Tex/LaTex] Is is possible to not abbreviate the author name of only one reference in the bibliography

acronymsbibtexieeetran

I am using the IEEEtran.bst file for my bibliography (as follows):

\bibliographystyle{IEEEtran}
\bibliography{IEEEabrv,biblio}

and it works as desired in all but one case. I have one entry where the 'author' is "World Health Organization and others", which gets abbreviated as "W. H. Organization et al.". Obviously, this is not what I want.

Is there a way I can use IEEEabrv, but make an exception for this one entry?

Please note that I am obliged to use this style (not natbib or anything else) due to the conference submission guidelines.

Best Answer

Your problem is not caused by IEEEabrv.bib, which simply contains the abbreviated names of IEEE journals; it is rather caused by the style IEEEtran.bst, which is programmed to abbreviate author names.

According to this, maybe you could write your author as

author = {{\relax World Health Organization} and others}
