Thanks, Christiaan! FYI... I'm not sure about other styles (or compatibility with BibText standards), but APA citations do use year ranges (e.g., 2006-2007) for some works, such as multi-volume works.
Just thought I'd mention it, as it may impact the process for truncating that string (if that was the plan.) -c On Apr 12, 2009, at 9:59 AM, Christiaan Hofman wrote: > Please try the next nightly build, I've changed the logic of setting > the Year field for RIS a bit > > Christiaan > > On 12 Apr 2009, at 3:54 PM, James Harrison wrote: > >> I also see this, most commonly associated with RIS download from >> Biomed Central, Science Direct, and several journal sites that seem >> use similar software (for example, Sage Online at >> online.sagepub.com). >> The RIS record line starting with PY contains the year as a four >> digit >> number, and this may be followed on the same line by a space and the >> month as text, or slashes separating the month and issue number from >> the year (as below).
