Crossreferencing API should accept date formats as YYYY or YYYY-MM

Closed this issue · 1 comments

The Crossreferencing API should accept date formats as YYYY or YYYY-MM, because these formats apply to the KBART standard:

For journals, this field should include the date of the first issue available online in the format YYYY-MM-DD. Use only those parts of the date datathat apply.For example, if the journal is annual, only YYYY should be used, whereas if the journal is monthly or quarterly, only YYYY-MM should be used. Only in cases where issues of the journal have specified cover dates including the day should YYYY-MM-DD be used. For books, leave this field blank.
