Description

When a paper has multiple versions, e.g. https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.53/, should there be an indication in the BibTeX that it is the revised version being referenced? E.g. the date accessed or the date of the revision.

Research direction

Start with the example record at https://aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-main.53/ and inspect the current BibTeX output for papers with multiple versions. Determine the expected citation behavior for a revised version, then document or implement the agreed indication and verify it against that example.
