the title is in italics; this is detected using the keywords en or sc. Use the
@commentary type. In one case (Blackstone) the volume number comes first.
For this, abuse the prenote format.
Where it is available, the shorttitle will be used in the text: the longer
title will, however, be used in indexing.

Reference works
Reference works should be given the @reference type. Under oscola very
little information gets printed about such a work: really only the title, edition,
date and publisher. It is intended really for use in relation to works that are
so well known as works of reference that the identification of editors, authors
and the like is regarded as superfluous; in cases where that does not seem
right, use @book instead.
If you need to refer to a particular part of a reference work (such as an
article in an encyclopaedia), use that @inreference entry type. In this case
an author or editor may be printed. This can also be a convenient way of
referring to a particular volume of a reference work without needing to enter
a volume number every time, as example 93 shows.
