If you want to show an "identifying key" in your .bib file when you cite it, by using \usepackage{natbib}, you can add \defcitealias{the name of the identifying key}{the name of the identifying key}. And when you cite it, you \citealias{the name of identifying key}. That is all.

  • This depends a lot on how you are creating your citations. Are you using biblatex or natbib or something else. This is probably easiest with biblatex. – Alan Munn Nov 13 '17 at 17:16
  • For the part of bibliography, in preamble I wrote: \usepackage{natbib} \bibliographystyle{apalike} – King Chung Lo Nov 13 '17 at 17:22

    If you use biblatex, there is a shorthand field you can add to your .bib entries for these works which specifies how they are supposed to be cited. See How do I cite classical works with biblatex?. – Alan Munn Nov 13 '17 at 17:35
  • Thank @AlanMunn. Since I am a very beginner of using Latex, I need some more instructions from you. Now, all book items are in a file named mylib.bib file. In the preamble, I wrote: \usepackage{natbib} \bibliographystyle{apalike} And in the paper of bibliography, I have only one sentence: \bibliography{/Users/prinelo/Dropbox/mybook/mylib.bib} What should I do? – King Chung Lo Nov 13 '17 at 18:19
