"issued" and "ongoing range of publication"

birne75
Hello,

I know that for getting a date range as publication date I enter "issued: 2000/2007" into the extra field.
But how do I do that when it is an ongoing publication, i.e. the last volume has not yet appear?

In many styles (including mine) the output should be "2007–", but how do I enter this into Zotero. Entering "issued: 2007/" into extra does not work.
Is there a way to do this?

Many thanks in advance,
best,
Daniel

    Since open date ranges aren't defined in ISO 8601, I don't think there's a way to do that.

    ok, thanks for the swift answer!
    That will be one thing to do manually then ...

    Best wishes,

    They are defined in EDTF. I think that in Extra this should work
    Issued: 2012-01-13/

    Thanks, I tried it. But the output is still just "2012", without a following en dash to show an ongoing range.

    The EDTF conventions, however, say that having nothing following the slash is exactly how to specify a time interval with unknown end.

    Anyway, thanks a lot for the idea!

    Best,

    Okay, an alternative is to format the date exactly how you want to to appear and then wrap it in quotes. That will be passed through literally

    this worked!
    thanks!

    Best wishes,
