I'd like to insert records the publication date of which is more than one year, for example a double year. If I import a doi like 10.2304/plat.2005.5.1.8 (published 2005--2006), only the first years is inserted. Is there a way to insert more than one year?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
And most of the common bibliographic formats lack this support too. None of the export formats that I checked from the publisher's website exported the range: http://plj.sagepub.com/citmgr?gca=spplj%3B5%2F1%2F8
So, even if we had EDTF support, you'd have to edit the record after import.

At this time, refbase doesn't support date ranges. Matthias was interested in implementing EDTF, but we've not started this.
However, you should note that I'm not sure that CrossRef supports ranges yet either. There is no date range in the record refbase would use if you import by DOI:

I see. I'd still love to see EDTF support getting implemented. Unfortunately, I don't think I can contribute much myself.
