Citing from an Encyclopedia with sub voce

Question

I would like to cite from an encyclopedia. My advisor would like me to use s.v. (see 1. example here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._v. ).

I am currently using

@incollection

but adding s.v. to the

TITLE=

will wrongly put it between the quotation marks.

Is there a better suited bibtex template? I am using biber with biblatex

Update MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear]{biblatex}
\begin{document}
\printbibliography
\end {document}

@incollection{BAR60,
        Author={Foo Bar},
        Title={s.v. Baz},
        Year={1960},
        Booktitle={Encyclopaedia of Everything}
}

How should it look like:

Bar, Foo (1960) s.v. "Baz". In: Encyclopaedia of Everything

Answer 1

I suggest you use the special type @inreference that is specifically for dictionaries and encyclopaedias.

@inreference{BAR60,
  author    = {Foo Bar},
  title     = {Baz},
  year      = {1960},
  booktitle = {Encyclopaedia of Everything},
}

Then you can just do

\NewBibliographyString{subvoce}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{
  subvoce = {s\adddot v\adddot},
}
\DeclareFieldFormat[inreference]{title}{%
  \bibstring{subvoce}\addabbrvspace\mkbibquote{#1\isdot}}

to automatically add the "s.v." to the title.

MWE

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=authoryear]{biblatex}

\NewBibliographyString{subvoce}
\DefineBibliographyStrings{english}{
  subvoce = {s\adddot v\adddot},
}
\DeclareFieldFormat[inreference]{title}{%
  \bibstring{subvoce}\addabbrvspace\mkbibquote{#1\isdot}}

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@inreference{BAR60,
  author    = {Foo Bar},
  title     = {Baz},
  year      = {1960},
  booktitle = {Encyclopaedia of Everything},
}
\end{filecontents*}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}

\begin{document}
\cite{BAR60}
\printbibliography
\end {document}

If you want the 's.v.' to remain in lowercase at all times, you can sprinkle in a \midsentence

\DeclareFieldFormat[inreference]{title}{%
  \midsentence\bibstring{subvoce}\addabbrvspace\mkbibquote{#1\isdot}}
