BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ can't get year = {1950(1925)} to work

[maja z]

Hi! I'm not sure what the correct terminology is, but I have a reference with "two years" - one is the original publication and the other is the copy or edition that I have obtained. But since the year it was first published is important, I want to keep both.

So by bibtex source is

Code: Select all

year = {1950(1925)}

but \citep (I'm using natbib) gives me:

(Fisher,1950(1925, p.81)

instead of

(Fisher,1950(1925), p.81)

So it has lost the last parenthesis? Why? How can I fix this?

Thanks!

Maja

Edit: I got it work using

Code: Select all

year = {1950[1925]}

Which is acceptable I guess, but the question still stands!

Hi,

use

Code: Select all

year = {1950{(}1925{)}}

in the .bib file (enclose the parentheses using curly brackets).

Thanks gmedina, works perfectly!
