There are numerous questions which show how to use aliases in citations, for example this one (and I use the MWE from the answer).
How can the shorthand itself (in this case JD14
) be added to the bibliography for easier identification?
i.e., I want the bibliography entry to end up as something like,
Doe, J., Smith, J., and Bar, F. (2014) [JD14]. Some title. Some journal.
or even,
[JD14]: Doe, J., Smith, J., and Bar, F. (2014). Some title. Some journal.
\printshorthands
, and then they reach the bibliography too. So, I ask, given this, do you really want the shorthand to go to the regular bibliography?\printshorthands
doesn't work with natbib. Is there an equivalent?biblatex
tag of your question.biblatex
as your tag suggests? If your code is indeed similar to the post you link to you are not usingbiblatex
, that post usesnatbib
and BibTeX. Please retag your question in case you are not usingbiblatex

s and citation alisases defined with\defcitealias
are two completely different things.
