While exporting library to a bibtex database, some of the journal articles come with a month field but others don't, even though I am unable to find any difference in the corresponding entries in the mendeleydesktop. For example, consider the following two entries.
@article{Sharif2005,
author = {Sharif, Masoud and Hassibi, Babak},
file = {:home/swagato/.local/share/data/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Sharif, Hassibi - 2005 - On the capacity of MIMO broadcast channels with partial side information.pdf:pdf},
journal = {IEEE Transactions on Information Theory},
number = {2},
pages = {506--522},
title = {{On the Capacity of MIMO Broadcast Channels with Partial Side Information}},
url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=1386524},
volume = {51},
year = {2005}
}
@article{Zhang2008,
author = {Zhang, Zhen},
doi = {10.1109/TIT.2007.909139},
file = {:home/swagato/.local/share/data/Mendeley Ltd./Mendeley Desktop/Downloaded/Zhang - 2008 - Linear Network Error Correction Codes in Packet Networks(2).pdf:pdf},
issn = {0018-9448},
journal = {IEEE Transactions on Information Theory},
month = jan,
number = {1},
pages = {209--218},
title = {{Linear Network Error Correction Codes in Packet Networks}},
url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/lpdocs/epic03/wrapper.htm?arnumber=4418509},
volume = {54},
year = {2008}
}
The mendeley entry for the second article doesn't contain 'jan' anywhere, yet it shows up somehow. Moreover, it's not regular as seen in the first example. The fields available for a journal article (in mendeley) are-Title, Author, Journal, Volume, Issue, Pages, Abstract, Tags, Keywords, Citation key, Publisher, and URL.
