I am new at Latex, so Im sorry if I made things too complicated. I want to cite a website and @article probably isn't the best option for this, but here is what I tried:

 @article{struers,
  title={About Grinding and Polishing},
  author={Struers - Ensuring Certainty},
  isbn={},
  url={https://www.struers.com/en/Knowledge/Grinding-and-polishing#},
  year={2020}}

There wasn't a specific author mentioned in the website, but I want the name of the website to appear in references instead. Therefore I tried to put it as it was the author, but then it appears as this in the bibliography page:

[2]  S. E. Certainty.  About grinding and polishing.  2020

while using:

\bibliographystyle{abbrv}

So the question is, how can I make the websites name appear fully in references without messing up my other citations? Thank you :)

    Welcome to TeX SX! You should consider using biblatex, which defines an @online entry type. – Bernard Dec 28 '20 at 22:41
  • Hey thank you :) Though I think this doesnt solve the problem with shortened author names :( – Tuana Dec 29 '20 at 00:04
  • You're dealing with a so-called "corporate" author. Hence, change author={Struers - Ensuring Certainty}, to author={{Struers - Ensuring Certainty}},. – Mico Dec 29 '20 at 01:33
  • Off-topic: (i) It's wrong to use the @article entry type for the entry in question, as it's not a piece that was published in a scholarly journal. I suggest you use @misc instead. (ii) The abbrv bibliography style doesn't know about, and hence simply ignores, fields of type url. I suggest you either switch to the abbrvnat bib style and load the natbib citation management package with the option numbers, or change the field to note={url\{https://www.struers.com/en/Knowledge/Grinding-and-polishing#}}, and load the url or, better yet, xurl package. – Mico Dec 29 '20 at 01:41
  • @Tuana: With the @online entry type, the author field is not mandatory, I should have mentioned it. You can look at p. 11 of the documentation. – Bernard Dec 29 '20 at 10:18
  • thank you so much for both of your answers! :) – Tuana Dec 29 '20 at 15:02
