The problem was that I didn’t filled the Editor field for these particular publications, therefore there was a space left before the comma and Title (“In [missing Editor], TitleOfTheCompleteOpera”).

I got the opportunity to add a “, Vol. ” part between “” and ” (pp. )”, to include the volume number.

I know that I wrote these rules when I was using Tiger, so they should work. What you might want to do is inspect your bib file and see what is actually the file for the author element. Perhaps there is some weird line ending, or you’re storing authors in some sort of custom field. Those are my suggestions.

I am also on Bibdesk 1.3.20, but I am not having this problem. Is this a new problem (i.e. caused by an upgrade?)

Also, I get a strange space+comma formatting after the ‘In’ statement with ‘inbook’-type full citations, like in the following case:

Wayne, J. (2003). Indians and cowboys. In , Enciclopedya of the movies (pp. 148–166). Einaudi.

Is this somethig happening to you as well?

If you use the browser built in to BibDesk itself (under the “Bookmarks” menu, it will pick out all the citations and give you single-click import. If only there were a way to hook it directly into Zotero…

I know this is going to sound lame, but I’m using it as a attention grabing tool in conferences, to hook up senior academics: they see the sleak interface, thy hear me typing comments and then quoting directly from a paper that was mentionned in the talk (but not in the bibliography) that I downloaded on the fly. . .
:^)

Then they are listening to me, and I can beg access to their cool database, or they cool code — and they can say no, on the fly.

Seriously, you have amazing features like the latest papers from an author or a in journal in the corresponding menus, or secure access management — that alas doesn’t work with CNRS’s platform, but the direct link to Firefox helps compensate.

It stil needs uploading tools to have a true community-based workflow, but I’m sure if enough users ask for it, Mek&Tosj can figure something out.

Add a Pajek plug-in that fetches back-citation and references, and academia will be too easy.

Paying for software if you are just doing a Master’s might seem too much — but I would consider it, even for a few months of use, although the first month is free.
