I use bibtex (changing to biblatex for some reason gives multiple errors we
still work on it)
apsr and natbib

however the problem is that
- in newspaper entries: the publication and the exact date (month day) are
not displayed
- in working papers the institution is not displayed
- and any unicode signs in the literature result in error messages but i
can live with manually "cleaning" the literature of any "special" letters

Im looking forward to any hint as I am not able to find a solution to this
in the last months


Hi,

it is quite possible, that the bibliography style you are using simply doesn't know the fields and entries you have defined, and every field unknown is ignored. For example, non of the bst styles i know have a defined date field, but all just support a year entry.


Please consider the following example:
%%
\documentclass{article}
        \begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
                @bok{nobook,
                        author={maggie},
                        title={the title},
                }
                @misc{entry,
                date={2015-05-11},
        author={maggie},
        titel={not title, but titel},
}
\end{filecontents}
\begin{document}
\nocite{*}
\bibliographystyle{plain}
\bibliography{\jobname}
\end{document}
%%


Making biblatex work might be a fruitful endeavour, as hacking bst-styles is a pain.


Best regards
Johannes
