Institution acronyms

Hi there,
How should I enter an institution as an author?

Should I enter the full name? e.g. "Food and Agriculture Organization"
Or acronym? e.g. FAO

Word count is quite important, so I was wondering if there was a way to have the acronym in the text e.g. (FAO 2006) and the full name in the bibliography e.g. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), annual report 2006.

I couldn't find the answer, sorry if it was addressed elsewhere.
Thanks!
Emmanuel
  • This is probably a question better answered by your journal or publisher.

    If you want to have the abbreviation in the citations and the full name in the bibliography you would want to just use the abbreviation and then edit the bibliography. I don't believe there is a option in CSL to abbreviate institutional authors.
