No information in the modeline for this entry

[brabalan]

I have the following entry:

@Report{HondaYoshidaBerger2014,
  year =         2014,
  type =         {Technical Report},
  institution =  {Imperial College},
  number =       {2014/2},
  title =        {Control in the $\pi$-Calculus},
  author =       {Kohei Honda and Nobuko Yoshida and Martin Berger}
}

When I create a link to is (using helm-bibtex) and put my cursor on the entry, I see this in the modeline:

, "", , : ()

org-ref works for other entries, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with this one or with org-ref.

Note that I can still jump to the bibtex entry or open the pdf using org-ref, it seems that the problem is in the displaying of the information.

There probably is not a message for Reports. I guess the other ones it works for are articles.

I understand. I'll try to see if I can extend org-ref-bib-citation to cover more types.

Are you sure Report is the right type? a @techreport is recognized, but I am not sure about a @report. you might be able to add to org-ref-bibliography-entry-format to get it to work. see

(defcustom org-ref-bibliography-entry-format '(("article" . "%a, %t, %j, %v(%n), %p (%y). <a href=\"%U\">link. <a href=\"http://dx.doi.org/%D\">doi.")

("book" . "%a, %t, %u (%y).")
("techreport" . "%a, %t, %i, %u (%y).")
("proceedings" . "%e, %t in %S, %u (%y).")
("inproceedings" . "%a, %t, %p, in %b, edited by %e, %u (%y)"))

"String to format an entry. Just the reference, no numbering at the beginning, etc... see the `org-ref-reftex-format-citation' docstring for the escape codes." :type 'string :group 'org-ref)

Report is a biblatex entry type (see http://ctan.mines-albi.fr/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf section 2.1.1, page 11).

Customizing this works when I apply https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/pull/32. Thanks a lot!

great! Maybe one day the scientific publishing world will embrace biblatex! best wishes
