inproceedings entry does not display series

[yannis1962]

When compiling the entry

@inproceedings{yh13cicling2,
   Author = {Haralambous, Yannis},
   Booktitle = {{CICLing 2013: 14th International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, Samos}},
   Pages = {201--217},
   Series = {Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science},
   Title = {New Perspectives in Sinographic Language Processing Through the Use of Character Structure},
   Volume = {7816},
   Year = {2013}}

the series disappear and I get Could you please fix this? It is quite annoying… Thanks

Please note that series+volume is usually not the right combination. The usual combinations are series+number and maintitle+volume.

As I commented under the TeX.SX question the question is whether or not the APA manual wants inclusion of the series.

It depends on which exact fields you use - some decisions had to be made in the style to get consistent behaviour of which .bib fields to use for certain situations, see the sample reference .bib that comes with the package. However, I will be revisiting this soon as the 7th edition of the APA guidelines is out and I intend to update the style for this.

I changed the reference so that VOLUME becomes NUMBER:

@inproceedings{yh13cicling2, Author = {Haralambous, Yannis}, Booktitle = {{CICLing 2013: 14th International Conference on Intelligent Text Processing and Computational Linguistics, Samos}}, Pages = {201--217}, Series = {Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, Title = {New Perspectives in Sinographic Language Processing Through the Use of Character Structure}, Number = {7816}, Year = {2013}}

and now nothing appears, neither the series nor the number (previously volume). What should I do to get those two pieces of information?

I wrote a longer reply on TeX.SX and also linked to an answer that might implement something that comes closer to what you expect.

But I stand by what I said or at least implied earlier: This is only a bug of biblatex-apa if the APA guidelines require that series+number be printed. What the standard styles do does not matter, what I or you expect or would like to see also does not matter. https://github.com/plk/biblatex-apa/issues/15 seems to imply that there is no strong evidence that the APA wants series+number in the usual biblatex sense shown in the bibliography. It is probably moot to argue about this as the seventh edition of the APA manual just came out and it would be interesting to see what it has to say. In case the manual is unclear as well maybe we can send an email to the APA style experts (https://apastyle.apa.org/apa-style-help) and ask for clarification? For 6th edition interesting emails were often answered on the APA style blog (link to 7th ed. https://apastyle.apa.org/blog).

7th edition style (version 9) has just been released.
