Hello, I have noticed that, for a reason I don't understand, dots after dates in the bibliography are not placed in the same manner. For example, I get (copy-paste from pdf) : Morales, I. (1997) . The mexican crisis and the weakness of the NAFTA consensus. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 550 :130-152. Morales, I.(1999). NAFTA : The governance of economic openness. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :35-65. Robey, J. S. (1999) . Civil society and NAFTA : Initial results. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 565 :113-125. Totman, C. (1980) . From Sakoku to Kaikoku. The Transformation of Forei- gn-Policy Attitudes, 1853-1868. Monumenta Nipponica, 35(1) :1-19. So for the first entry, the point after (1997) is placed after a space, whereas it is not the case for the second entry (there is also no space between I. and (1999)). In some cases (when I add more entries), I even have the point before the parenthesis, though the bib file might be right (or in any cases, since the field are completed in the same manner, I didn't expected different behaviors in the result since it is automatized and all fields are articles). Here is the bib file : %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% @article{conrad1980transformation, author = "Conrad Totman", title = "From {S}akoku to {K}aikoku. {T}he {T}ransformation of {F}oreign-{P}olicy {A}ttitudes, 1853-1868", journal = "Monumenta Nipponica", year = 1980, volume = 35, number = 1, pages = "1-19", publisher = "Sophia University", url = "http://www.jstor.org/stable/2384397", } @article{robey1999civil, author = "John S.
