Cite video using BibTeX in BibDesk

Question

I am having trouble citing a video in BibDesk. It doesn't have a field for Producer.

The desired output format is apa6.

example APA format:

American Psychological Association. (Producer). (2000). Responding therapeutically to patient expressions of sexual attraction [DVD]. Available from http://www.apa.org/videos/

I'm writing a paper in LaTeX and using apacite. How would I create that entry?

Thanks,

Dan

You can add fields to a BibDesk entry by right-clicking by the fields in the pop-up window for the entry. It is the first option, "Add Field".

The only question is whether your bst supports a "Producer" field. I recently had a similar problem trying to cite a reprint of an article. I had added a "Reprintedin" field to the BibDesk entry only to find out that my bst didn't support that field.

You can see my question and the answer here: Citing a Reprint of an Article in BibTeX

I was able to solve the problem with a "note" field (which was supported by my bst).

Looking at the apacite documentation (here: http://wiki.humlab.lu.se/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=public:apacite.pdf) it doesn't seem like there is a "Producer" field available (see page 15 for a table of the fields and which types of entries support which fields).

I would suggest that as a quick fix you simply put the producer's name into whichever field appears second in the references in the type of entry you are using.
