What is the proper way to represent a talk at a conference (with no proceedings) in BibTeX (hopefully via Zotero)?

Question

I use zotero to manage my bibliography, and export collections to BibTeX when I'm writing in LaTeX. I use apacite as my style (I'm a psychology student).

I have a citation that should end up looking like this:

Ranney, M., Cheng, F., Garcia de Osuna, J., & Nelson, J. (2001, November). Numerically Driven Inferencing: A New Paradigm for Examining Judgments, Decisions, and Policies Involving Base Rates. Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment and Decision Making, Orlando, FL.

It is a "paper" which is really a talk at a conference with no proceedings. The closest I can get is with a Zotero "Presentation" with the following in the type field. Ends up as a "misc" in the BibTeX file:

using

@misc
...
type = {Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment & Decision Making}
...

Yields the following in my LaTeX / BibTeX output (unwanted square braces):

Ranney, M., Cheng, F., Osuna, J. G. de, & Nelson, J. (2001). Numerically driven inferenc- ing: A new paradigm for examining judgments, decisions, and policies involving base rates [Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment & Decision Making]. Orlando, FL.

Or, I can get close by hand-adding a booktitle field to the misc entry.

Note that Zotero outputs the "right thing" (to a word doc, or plain text, etc.) using a presentation, type = Paper, conference = the annual meeting of the Society for Judgment & Decision Making.

Anyway, I can just hand-code this as a lecture, but that sucks a little for my current work-flow.

Any ideas / hacks for how to deal with the problem much appreciated!

Answer 1

I have used

@unpublished{key,
title= {talk title},
author = {author names},
year = {year},
note= {conference name},
URL= {url link to talk abstract if any},
}

to cite conference talks in my thesis
