Hi again Simon, 

Thanks again for the information.
I’ve been reading through the links you sent me.
Something I noticed though, is that while I can add a field to my .bib file 
(e.g., impact factor), I still haven’t found how to get that extra field 
included in the bibliography biber, biblatex, or bibtex creates. Apparently I 
have to edit  a .bbx or .cbx  style file, but I don’t know which one or where 
they are located. 

Jason
