Inclusion of collaboration field #11

Closed mreininghaus closed 6 years ago

mreininghaus commented 10 years ago

It would be nice to have the collaboration field included to produce an output like

[7] K. Abe et al. (T2K Collaboration), Phys. Rev. D 88, 032002 (2013)

from a .bib file entry with a collaboration = {T2K Collaboration} line. This conforms to the instructions given in the Physical Review Style and Notation Guide (p. 7) by the APS.

This is going to be Biber-only, but I agree it sounds reasonable (sorry it's taken so long to look at it!). I'll see what I can do.

Thank you for finally spending efforts on this! Unfortunately, your solution doesn't seem to work just out of the box. The style always takes the "field-undef'ed" branch, regardless of the presence of the collaboration field. From what I read up in the biblatex documentation and stackexchange, it seems to be necessary to modify the data model of biblatex in order to add custom fields.
