Dates

  Previous Topic Next topic  

Bibliographic information frequently includes dates and years. You can edit the properties of a date component to customize how dates appear.

For example, the date January 30, 2009 can appear in a citation or bibliography in many ways. For example:

Appearance

Custom format specifier

2009

yyyy

January 2009

MMMM yyyy

2009-01-30

yyyy-MM-dd

1/30/09

MM/dd/yy

Jan 30, 2009

MMM d, yyyy

30.01.2009

dd.MM.yyyy

There are also standard date formats that are defined by your operating system. These formats change depending on the date format set on your computer system. For example:

Appearance (computer setting)

1/16/2009 (en-US)
16.01.2009 (de-DE)

Friday, January 16, 2009 (en-US)

Occasionally, you may add a reference that has not been published yet. In these cases, right-click a date or year field and click In press to insert a placeholder.

In the citation style editor, you can set the text that the placeholder is replaced with, such as "in press" or "forthcoming"

In some use cases, instead of a year component, you will see a year derived component instead. See Using Special Components.
