If you have not defined a publisher, how should ANY format place the undefined publisher's name?
Simply leave it blank?
If there is no publisher, then @unpublished is a better category. APA explicitly, and for good reason, accounts for self-publishing, indicating that the Author was the publisher. This is why it works that way. If a publisher does not exist, was it published? If the publisher is unknown, then why not state that: publisher="unknown publisher", or whatever? Alan
