Citing organisations in Papers 3.0

Organisations, rather than people, often co-author reports and other materials which should be cited and referenced in scientific work. After many trials and errors, I have finally resolved how to elegantly cite organisations with long names and short acronyms using Papers 3, my pdf organisation and reference management software (extensively covered on this site). 

When I enter an organisation as an author in Papers I specify both its abbreviation and full name as follows:

When I cite, I use citation modifiers so that my unformatted text may look as follows:

---

Until 1989, Germany was the third largest coal producer in the world {IEA *IEAInternationalEnergyAgency:2015tz} and according to WCA {*WCAWorldCoalAssociation:2014ub} it remains by far the largest producer of lignite.

After formatting the text and the bibliography look as follows:

---

Until 1989, Germany was the third largest coal producer in the world (IEA 2015) and according to WCA (2014) it remains by far the largest producer of lignite.

I am very happy that the text only features abbreviations, but the bibliography shows both abbreviations and the full organisation’s name.
