University of Westminster-Harvard

I have a question regarding the University of Westminster--Harvard style citation. So, I downloaded this style onto my Zotero desktop application and have been using it for my dissertation. I have a lot of sources from organizations like Red Cross, World Bank, Department for International Developement, etc...and thus, these organizations, sometimes have an author and sometimes do not. However, it seems that the software will automatically cite and reference them by title, instead of organization or author(s). Is this a glitch or am I entering it incorrectly, because it goes against what the University handbook says? It also did the same for an online news article I cited, where the journalist's name was listed as an author, but it used the title of the work, instead of her name or the company (NPR, BBC). Here is the link to the university's handbook. https://www.westminster.ac.uk/library-and-it/support-and-study-skills/guides-and-tutorials/referencing-your-work
  • You want to add the organization as an author in those cases.
    Click on the two white rectangles after the author field to switch it to single field/institutional.

    Zotero will not try to get the organizational author from, e.g., the publisher field as there's too much room for error on that (and it wouldn't work, e.g. for webpages).
