I'm writing a paper that needs citation of work of Daniel Bernoulli (not Jacob Bernoulli). I find citing his work as (Bernoulli 1742) insufficient.

Journal requires using natbib for managing citattions. I'm guessing there is some magic that can be done in the .bib file to fix this. Relevant entry currently stands as:

@Article{Bernoulli:1742,
    author = {D. Bernoulli},
    title = {The 26th letter to Euler},
    journal = {Correspondence Mathematique et Physique},
    year = {1742},
    volume = {2},
    number = {}, 
    pages = {},
    month = {},
    note = {},
}

You could put the author in two {{}}. In this way it is not treated as first and last name. To preserve correct sorting you could use the \noopsort{} trick as suggested by @vonbrand.

@PREAMBLE{ {\providecommand{\noopsort}[1]{}} }
@article{Bernoulli:1742,
    author = {{\noopsort{Bernoulli, Daniel}}{D. Bernoulli}},
    title = {The 26th letter to Euler},
    journal = {Correspondence Mathematique et Physique},
    year = {1742},
    volume = {2},
    number = {},
    pages = {},
    month = {},
    note = {},
}

    But that will screw up sorting... use the \noopsort{} trick to sort as e.g. Bernoulli, Daniel.

    @vonbrand Thanks for pointing this out. I updated the answer.

    Looking again, this is more InCollection or Misc than Article (just too bad no @ is allowed...).

    Yes, @incollection would fit better.
