Error messages
The Bibcode template checks the bibcode value to see if it has the proper format.[1] When the assigned value does not have the proper format, the template returns an error message along with the type of error that is encountered:
- Check bibcode: <type>
Bibcode template values are expected to match these requirements:
- length must be 19 characters (<type> = 'length')
- characters in position(s): (except as specified otherwise, violations produce 'value' in the <type> portion of the error message):
- 1–4 must be digits and must represent a year in the range of 1000 – next year (<type> = 'year')
- 5 must be a letter
- 6–8 must be letter, ampersand, or dot (ampersand cannot directly precede a dot; &. (<type> = 'journal'))
- 9 must be letter or dot
- 10–18 must be letter, digit, or dot
- 19 must be a letter or dot
To resolve this error, ensure that the assigned bibcode value is correct.
