In a new entry the following terms are not explained:
-
Publication Type What are the differences from Type
-
Address: of what? Author/publisher/email/web page?
-
Edition: Does this apply to book, magazines, both? Magazines sometimes have a ‘Volume’, is this an Edition?
-
Volume: How does this differ from Edition? Are they mutually exclusive?
-
Organization/Institution/University: How are these related? Can a reference be in a University and an Organization within a University and an Institution within the Organization?
-
Type of Report/Publication Type/Type: How are these related and what are the descriptions for “type of Report” and “Publication Type”
-
Month: Does this relate to books, emailed comments and so on. What is the “Months” use?
At the end this seems to be a do-it-yourself document, in which someone can provide arbitrary meanings to the things that are unclear and then populate entries using these meanings.
I’ve looked at the help file and the only field defined is Short name. Type has a pull-down menu with duplicate and confusing entries, some of which appear to have an overlap with the above. So, I don’t know where to look to find any sort of definitions. Any help would be much appreciated.
