I want to cite a question and its answer in my paper in IEEEtran format. However, citing the question gives me this weird result:
The URL of my account is broken and the author name is just the beginning of my username.
I would be happier if it had the form:
C. Koca (https://math.stackexchange.com/users/426569/c-koca), “Summation of
$\sum_{n=0} a^nq^{n^2} $ ,” Mathematics Stack Exchange, uRL: https://math.stackexchange.com/q/3738807 (version: 2020-07-06). [Online]. Available: https://math.stackexchange.com/q/3738807.
Alternatively "C-koca" or "c-koca" would be useful as well.
How can I cite it in this way? I tried to change the bibtex text generated by stackexchange, yet I couldn't manage it properly. Also, a feature handling the username and hyphen in the link as itself would be handy.
Thanks!
Edit: Thanks to the suggestion of u/Martin Sleziak, I managed to fix the broken URL. However, the name issue persists. In IEEE citation, Name Surname is cited as
N. Surname
However, when usernames are involved, there is no surname, so it is treated as a single name lacking a surname. I checked the IEEE reference guide but couldn't spot something relevant.
This issue might be about bibtex itself so it might be impossible to solve it.
\url{...}help? I mean something like:AUTHOR = {C.Koca (\url{https://math.stackexchange.com/users/426569/c-koca})}. And similarly for the link to the question. (Maybe also changing "C.Koca" to "C. Koca" might be a reasonable thing to do; i.e., adding the space.) $\endgroup$\url{}helped with the broken URL. Thanks! For the name, I used it as{C. Koca}with a space but it doesn't work. $\endgroup$u/reduces the information in my opinion. It might easily refer to someone who is not on stack exchange, especially if the user removes the comment. If there is a convention to refer to other users here, please let me know. $\endgroup$
