Journal issue number #4

Dear Marco,

It seems that there could be some punctuation missing after "issue" is laid out in the article type. For example, with the entry:

@article{mmexperiments,
author={Siddhartha Chatterjee and  Alvin R. Lebeck and  Praveen K. Patnala and Mithuna Thottethodi},
title={Recursive array layouts and fast matrix multiplication},
journal={IEEE Trans. on Parallel and Distributed Systems},
volume={13},
issue={11},
pages={1105--1123},
year= {2002},
doi={10.1109/TPDS.2002.1058095}
}

The issue number should probably be separated from the year with a comma.

All the best, Alex

Hi,

the missing comma was a missing definition ;-)

The output was done by the following definition:

\newbibmacro*{issue+date-parens}{%
  \printtext{%
    \iffieldundef{issue}%
      {\usebibmacro{date}}%
      {\printfield{issue}%
       \setunit*{\addspace}%
       \usebibmacro{date}}%
   }\newunit}

As you can see the separator between issue and date is a simple \addspace. To fixed this I will use the following definition:

\newbibmacro*{issue+date-parens}{%
  \printtext{%
    \iffieldundef{issue}%
      {\usebibmacro{date}}%
      {\printfield{issue}%
       \setunit*{\addcomma\space}%
       \usebibmacro{date}}%
   }\newunit}

regards Marco
