Concerning the citation and bibliography of my thesis, some issues I could solve myself, with others I got help. But here are two aspects, which I'd like to change, but I couldn't figure them out on my own:

  1. I'd like the abbreviation to »et al.« for more than two authors in all in-text citations, beginning with the first mention. Currently on first mention it will look like »Author A / Author B / Author C 2000« and from second mention like »Author A et al. 2000«. Is there a modification available?

  2. I'd like to add »S.« (german abbreviation for »Seite«, meaning »Page«) in all the citations of journals in the bibliography. It should look similar to book chapters. Is there a way to add that?

I'm using APA-Style with biber as backend for biblatex. All help is much appreciated.

Point 2 should be as easy as

\DeclareFieldFormat*{pages}{\mkpageprefix[bookpagination]{#1}}

Point 1 is more complicated. Given that you are already deviating far from APA style, it might be worth a try to just load the standard authoryear style for citations

style           = apa,
citestyle       = authoryear,

The fact that you then still don't get "First Author et al." in your MWE is due to Set limit to one author when using "et al." in biblatex.

Note how I changed your .bib entries. In particular the content of the langid field must be a language name known to babel.

  • Thanks for your answer – both points work perfectly. Your advice concerning the bib-entries is also much appreciated. I manage my literature with zotero (export bibliography, format: »better biblatex«) and so I'll replace the langid-fields for the whole bibliography as a last step, when the text is finished. I like your idea with the subtitle-fields, but as zotero doesn't offer this field, I can't use it and help myself with this »—«. With more than 200 entries I can't change that manually. Or is there a way to add this field in zotero?

  • @Leandro I'm not a Zotero user myself, but if you use Better BibTeX, I believe you have (almost) full control over the fields and the export and it should be possible to export subtitle fields and the correct values for langid.

  • I just noticed, that now (maybe because of citestyle=authoryear ?) printbibliography gives the following: (1) for two authors »Author, A. & Author, B.« instead of »Author, A. / Author, B.«, (2) for more authors »Author, A. / Author, B. & Author, C.« instead of always »/« as delimiter, (3) same goes for editors »A. Editor & B. Editor« instead of »A. Editor / B. Editor«, (4) and more »A. Editor / B. Editor & C. Editor« instead of always »/« as delimiter. Is there a way to fix that, too?

  • thanks a lot, that worked perfectly for authors, but not for editors: they are still produced like »A. Editor & B. Editor«.
