is a @String
with the type author.@String { iMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT})}" }
is a @String
with the type of institution.@String { anct = "Anecdote" }
is a @String
of type other.@String { lTOSCA = "Topology and Orchestration Specification for Cloud Applications" }
is a @String

s of type author should be used for author and editors fields only. @String
s of type institution should be used for institution and organization fields only. @String
s of type publisher should be used only for publisher fields. And finally @String
s of type other can be used anywhere.@String { aMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT})}" }
if the institution will appear as author or editor@String { iMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT})}" }
if the institution will appear as institution or organization@String { pMIT = "{Massachusetts Institute of Technology ({MIT}) press}" }
if the institution will appear as publisher.
