Problem with Endnote and Bibtex

Post by louis »

Hello there,
I am having a problem with Endnotes and Bibtex.
When I try to cite the following 3 articles,

@ARTICLE{SM09a,
TITLE={{`Ticketmaster, Live Nation Near Merger'}},
AUTHOR={E. Smith},
JOURNAL={{Wall Street Journal}},
MONTH={February},
NOTE={February 4, p. A1},
YEAR={2009a},}

@ARTICLE{SM09b,
TITLE={{`Live Nation Agrees to All-Stock Buy of Ticketmaster'}},
AUTHOR={E. Smith},
JOURNAL={{Wall Street Journal}},
MONTH={February},
NOTE={February 11, p. B3},
YEAR={2009b},}

@ARTICLE{SM09c,
TITLE={{`Universal Music Takes Another Stab Online'}},
AUTHOR={E. Smith},
JOURNAL={{Wall Street Journal}},
MONTH={May},
NOTE={May 15, p. B8},
YEAR={2009c},}

Using--- \endnote{See \citet{sm09a,sm09b,sm09c}},

The end result is 1. See Smith(009a,009b,009c), with the '2' in 2009 omitted.

Do you know what may be causing this?

Thanks

At a guess, I would say that the 'year' is taken as the final 4 digits in the {}'s on the YEAR line of your bibtex file. If you post the bibliography style you are using, someone with more experience may be able to offer advice on how to change that behaviour.

All I can suggest is to try enclosing the whole year and letter in quotes ie.

Code: Select all

YEAR={"2009b"}

The year should be just that: the year of publication. The "a", "b", "c", etc. should be created by your citation system (natbib, I assume) when you cite the documents.
