Re: [Jabref-users] Why us the year field deprecated?

[Stefan B. <ste...@gm...>]

Hi.

date/year should be treated as one of those either-or fields, like
author/editor for bibtex book entries (but not biblatex; biblatex books
always have author(s), no editor(s); differences between bibtex and
biblatex are sometimes very subtle; indeed, in biblatex, proper treatment
would be something like [date|year[month[day]]]).
