NCBI PubMed and ambiguous dates.

nvpatel

There are a number of publications that occasionally have issues that cover a range of dates. The NCBI PubMed translator is unable to recognize these, I've found. Thus, citations from such issues do not have any date information entered. I've been filling in the dates manually for these, but it would be nice if the translator would at least fill in the year, which is required for most citation styles.

Citation examples:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8585481
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15569744
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16139655

Thanks!

This is a known issue for which I proposed a fix, but I don't know when it will be implemented:
