   - I suggested again that PRMS should consider both, and take the earlier of the two, then make sure whether the date is in the current reporting period
   - I managed to find 80 items with print publishing dates from 2023 and updated those from Crossref, but for the rest we will have to think about how we handle them

+- More discussion about dates after looking closely at them yesterday and today
+  - Crossref doesn't always have both issued and online dates—sometimes they have one, sometimes the other, and sometimes both, so we cannot rely on them 100% for that.
+  - In some cases, the item is available online for months (or even a year!), but has not been included in an issue yet, and thus has no "issue" date, for example:
+    - https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.20914 <--- published online January 2023!
+    - https://doi.org/10.1111/mcn.13401 <--- published online July 2022!
+  - Even journals make mistakes: this journal article was "issued" in 2022, but online in 2023! This is not Crossref's fault, but the journal's!
+    - https://doi.org/10.1186/s40066-022-00400-6
+  - I found a bunch more strange cases regarding dates and recommended to PRMS team that they use the earlier of the issued and online dates
+- Meet with Aditi to start discussing the scope of knowledge products we can get for the CGIAR climate change synthesis
