LaTex Bibliography Style Apacite

[uclouvain]

Hello

I'm using the package apacite to write my bibliography and I'm having
a few problems:

1) when putting the bibliography at the end it sets all the words in
the title in lowcase, so things like U.S. appear as u.s. or French as
french, is there a way to tell it to put everything in uppercase?

2) for some bibliographic entries (books in particular) it puts the
initial while not in articles, so I get things like R. Feenstra (2004)
for a book. Is there a way to tell it never to put initials

3) Do you know how I can cite things as Feenstra et al. (2003)

thanks you in advance

I'm only a beginner in LaTeX myself, but i'll give it a go :)

Put the U.S. bit between curly brackets, like this: {U.S.}.

Not sure, it doesn't seem to do that for me. It does add initials when
you are citing two authors with the same surname.

Do you mean how to cite just the year within the text? What i usually
do in that case is: Feenstra et al. \citeyear{REF}. See apacite manual
for those options. Does that solve your question?

You probably have two entries for people with the same last name and
different spellings for the first name or middle initial. If that
author is really unique withing your references section, then check
the other entries and be sure that the spellings are exactly the same--
including middle name or middle initial.
