AU field: Once capitalized, always capitalized

akusmin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:59:32 -0000

I add citations to my RefDB databases using the command "addref foo.ris "
where foo.ris is the file containing citations. When in one file there are two citations sharing the same author,
and if in the first such citation the author name is capitalized (FOONAME,F.B while in the second it is not (Fooname,F.B) then,
after citations are added, the command getref returns the *capitalized* author name for both citations.

Moreover, if there are three citations sharing the same author, the first citation contains AU field Fooname,Frank B. the second FOONAME,F.B
and the third Fooname,F.B, then, after adding references from this file, again, the command getref returns FOONAME,F.B.

Why I am complaining:

I get citations from ISI Web of Science, as you know, until 1995/1996 Author names and Titles are capitalized. Thus, some of citations
have capitalized names and some not. When I make bibliography for my LaTeX document, sometimes
I see capitalized author names.

May be this is already fixed in the SVN version? could you please check?
Thank you.

P.S.
Attached is the zip file with three ris files. In ex1.ris the citation with AU Stuhrmann, H.B, the second file contains one more citation (the very first) where AU has STUHRMANN,H.B, and the third files contains three citations, where the 1st has STUHRMANN,Heinrich.B.
