Elsevier article number ends up in "pages" field

Many PDFs I have recently downloaded from Elsevier ScienceDirect include an article number. For example,

Volume 197, December 2020, 105700

(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0169260720315339?via=ihub)

The article number ends up in the pages field of BibTex. In this case, the field takes the value 105700.

Is this the expected behaviour?

  • Yes. In the vast majority of citation styles, article numbers are treated like pages. For BibTeX specifically, I don't think there's another place for them
