APA: Collected Writings

timonwissfeld
I have to cite Adornos "Gesammelte Schriften (GS)" (Collected Writings) and "Nachgelassene Schriften (NS)" (Posthumous Writings) a lot. It is common to do it like this.

"Adorno said "citation xy" (Adorno GS3, p. 23) as you can also see when Adorno (NS5, p.145) talked about xy."

So the year should be replaced by the GS/NS+number. But just in this case. In the next sentence when I cite another person it should be "(Person 2025, p. 44)" again.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks a lot.

    Is this for a specific journal or publisher? That’s a pretty substantial deviation from standard APA style. I’m not quite sure how page numbers work for this type of citation—how would you know which version of the collected works the page numbers refer to without the year?

    In any event, you would need to edit a custom version of APA style.
