There are numerous questions which show how to use aliases in citations, for example this one (and I use the MWE from the answer).

enter image description here

How can the shorthand itself (in this case JD14) be added to the bibliography for easier identification?

i.e., I want the bibliography entry to end up as something like,

 Doe, J., Smith, J., and Bar, F. (2014) [JD14]. Some title. Some journal.

or even,

 [JD14]: Doe, J., Smith, J., and Bar, F. (2014). Some title. Some journal.

    I think it should not be too complicated. But, usually, entries with shorthands are printed apart for easy identification, using \printshorthands, and then they reach the bibliography too. So, I ask, given this, do you really want the shorthand to go to the regular bibliography? – gusbrs Mar 31 '18 at 14:47
  • @gusbrs I actually had never heard of or seen that before - thanks, that's awesome! Honestly, that solves my immediate problem, but I think some journals likely wouldn't allow such a split --- so perhaps it would still be useful information to include the abbreviate in the normal bibliography – DilithiumMatrix Mar 31 '18 at 15:01
  • @gusbrs actually, it looks like \printshorthands doesn't work with natbib. Is there an equivalent? – DilithiumMatrix Mar 31 '18 at 15:12
  • I've been assuming you're using biblatex, given your tag. Biblatex has an option for compatibility with natbib commands, but is something different altogether. If you are using natbib as such, and can't use biblatex, my advice is really not very useful. But, in this case, I recommend you remove the biblatex tag of your question. – gusbrs Mar 31 '18 at 15:15
  • Do you even use biblatex as your tag suggests? If your code is indeed similar to the post you link to you are not using biblatex, that post uses natbib and BibTeX. Please retag your question in case you are not using biblatex. If you are indeed using biblatex note that shorthands and citation alisases defined with \defcitealias are two completely different things. – moewe Mar 31 '18 at 15:17
  • @gusbrs sorry about that! – DilithiumMatrix Mar 31 '18 at 15:17
