v2.3.7 — citation-formatter correctness fixes (closes #15)
@cyanheads cyanheads tagged this 20 Apr 16:12 
Fixes three output-fidelity bugs in pubmed_format_citations surfaced
by field-testing against real PubMed records:

  • APA: trailing period before (Year) for collective authors
    (ATLAS Collaboration, KEYNOTE-024 Investigators, ACTT-1, …)
  • RIS: expand PubMed truncated page ranges (737-8 → 737/738)
  • BibTeX: strip trailing period from title before emission

Spec deviations also corrected:

  • MLA p./pp. branching per MLA 9 §6.56
  • RIS abstract whitespace normalization (structured abstracts)
  • getYear falls back to articleDates before yielding n.d.

Data surfaced that was previously dropped on the floor:

  • publicationTypes → BibTeX entry type / RIS TY code
  • RIS SN (ISSN, with eISSN fallback); BibTeX issn
  • PMC URL (second RIS UR) + BibTeX pmcid when pmcId present
  • MeSH descriptor names merged into RIS KW / BibTeX keywords (dedup)

Adds 11 new test cases. Full formatter suite (25/25) passing.
