[Tex/LaTex] Reference an Organization on Bibtex

bibtex

I have a quick question on how to reference organizations that contain more than one word.

For example, I am using this syntax,

@misc{Directive2010,
address = {Brussels},
author = {European Parliament and Council of the European Union},
keywords = {Manual,fix},
mendeley-tags = {Manual,fix},
number = {4},
pages = {1--12},
publisher = {European Parliament},
title = {{Directive 2010/30/EU}},
year = {2010}
}

The output I get in the text is:
(Parliament and of the European Union, 2010)

and I want it to show as:
(European Parliament and Council of the European Union, 2010)

Thank you for your help!!

If you want BibTeX to treat something as a single token, you will want to enclose it in braces (i.e., {}). So you will want to write:

@misc{Directive2010,
address = {Brussels},
author = {{European Parliament and Council of the European Union}},
keywords = {Manual,fix},
mendeley-tags = {Manual,fix},
number = {4},
pages = {1--12},
publisher = {European Parliament},
title = {{Directive 2010/30/EU}},
year = {2010}
}

BibTeX treats any occurrence of "and" in the author field as a delimiter that separates authors unless you enclose it in braces, like the above code does.
