bibtex - Change format of urldate
Thanks to Giacomo's feedback, I found another solution for this specific problem:
The problem is somehow more related to Citavi and Citavi is not as clear or transparent as LaTeX. For future reference of other people who might encounter a similar problem: Although Citavi asks to provide the date in the format urldate={dd.mm.yyyy}
you can type it in as urldate = {yyyy-mm-dd}
. The export does not make any problem. Strangly, by just changing one entry, all the other entries are exported accordingly. My fault not trying it out earlier. I should have tried it out earlier.
If you are using biblatex
package you can use
\DeclareSourcemap{
\maps{
\map[overwrite]{
\step[fieldsource=urldate,
match=\regexp{([0-9]{2})\.([0-9]{2})\.([0-9]{4})},
replace={$3-$2-$1},
final]
}
}
}
in your preamble to reformat urldate
field of input *.bib
files.
for forcing the formatting in BibTeX, I use the double braces, e.g.:
Urldate = {{15/01/2014}}
