comma in Journal article object

hi,
i feel that i discovered a small glitch in the way bibliography is built when Vancouver author-date citation is active.
i have a reference which appears this way, with one comma more than it is necessary:
European Union. 2017. «European Parliament resolution of 1 March 2018 on the situation of fundamental rights in the EU in 2016». Official Journal of the European Union, C, , n. 443 (dicembre): 31–38

i have no value for the volume, in the info for this item.
if i add just for testing purpose a dummy 99999 value for volume, the bibliography has the right punctuation:
European Union. 2017. «European Parliament resolution of 1 March 2018 on the situation of fundamental rights in the EU in 2016». Official Journal of the European Union, C, 99999 (443): 31–38.

any suggestions or amendment ? could i directly edit the vancouver author-date style ? how?

thank you
maurizio
  • Can you right click on the item, export it it as CSL-JSOn, then copy the contents of the exported file to http://hastebin.com and post a link here?
  • i am able to paste but not to save and get a link
    m
  • THe Save button is in the upper right corner.
  • yes i tried it, it makes me save on my mac a hastebin.html file.
    what doesn't give a link.
    pasting here the json code is not ok?

    everything ok, it was only a matter of time needed to refresh the citations, m.
    -----------------
    PS: i have another question about vancouver author-date.
    i have three journal articles by European Union, all three published in 2017. they are official documents published by the UE official journal.
    it happens that when i cite them in the document i am writing, they all appear as "European Union 2017". shouldn't i have a "European Union 2017a", "European Union 2017b", etc., allowing the reader to find the right document in the general bibliography?
    thank you
    maurizio
  • Hmm, hastebin seem to not be working at the moment. Weird.

    Yes you can post the JSON code here if you wrap it in <code> </code> tags.

    Can you do that for the EU documents?

    hi bwiernik,
    here below is the code.
    when you say "Can you do that for the EU documents?", uhm do you mean posting the "whole document"? m
