I'd like to get the most accurate citation of http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-642-29099-2 using biblatex+biber. However, whichever entry type I try, I get either only ISBN or only ISSN, whereas I'd like to have both. The best approximation so far has been achieved with with book
:
\documentclass{article}
\pagestyle{empty}
\usepackage[USenglish,ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[backend=biber,style=alphabetic,sortcites=true,maxnames=99,useprefix=true,dateabbrev=true,autolang=other,abbreviate=false]{biblatex}%%% this line stays as it is
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{mwe.bib}

Feeding this to the loop over pdflatex mwe && biber --isbn-normalise mwe
, we get
As you see, quite a lot of stuff went into note
in the source (which I don't like; I'd prefer to have issn={2192-6174}
, perhaps similar for the online ISBN and online ISSN), “eBook” and ”Series E-ISSN“ were printed in small caps in the PDF (as opposed to the publisher's Web page, so, differences in the capitalization were lost), and ISBN is too far from eBook ISBN (whereas it'd be logical to move them closer together). Is there any better way? (Is it, perhaps, possible to modify the book
or periodical
entry style to include both ISBN and ISSN (ideally also their online versions) or even create a new, custom entry style based on the two entry styles that addresses the deficiencies?)
Any by the way, why do we get “Package biblatex Warning: Language 'usenglish' not supported.” in the log file?
