End of field punctuations

The 245 field must end with a punctuation, the closed bracket    ] will not do it.     Ex.:   [et al.].

As opposed to the 260 field where the date can end in the closed bracket    ] Ex.:     [1987]

There is a cheat sheet for almost all other fields End of punctuation rules in Alephpro:
