Change APA 6th report

Hi, I´m a noobie in this, but I hope someone can help me quick.

I have a report from The National Institute of Occupational Health in Norway (STAMI). The APA 6th (style I´m using) says that this kind of report should by cited Author (in short),year in text, ex (STAMI,2018).

In the bibliography I´m supposed to write it this way:

Title (date). Short-title, Place: Publisher.

Like this:
Faktabok om arbeidsmiljø og helse (2018). STAMI-rapport, årgang 19, nr. 3,
Oslo: Statens arbeidsmiljøinstitutt.

I´ve tried different item type, and I´m not familiar
  • No, that’s not correct APA 6.

    The correct formatting for a report in APA 6 where the author and publisher are the same would have been:

    First citation:
    (Full Organization Name [Abbreviation], 2000)

    Subsequent citations:
    (Abbreviation, 2000)

    Bibliography:
    Full Organization Name [Abbreviation]. (2000). Title. Place: Author.

    (Here “Author” is literally the word “Author”.)

    Zotero can’t do the automatic abbreviation.

    But you can either:
    (1) enter “Author” in the publisher field and Full Organization Name [Abbreviation] in the author field. When you are done writing, manually delete the full organization name from subsequent citations.

    Or:
    (2) Enter the abbreviation in the author field and the full organization name in the publisher field. This will create a readable and more useful citation and reference. This is what I used when writing in APA 6, and it was acceptable to APA journals.
  • Thanks for your reply. The first page of the report says how you can write it in the bibliography, but I found out that it have to be in a different style. APA 6th is correct like you told.

    Thank for your help!
