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

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.
Thank for your help!
