I am trying to complile an elsarticle tex document.

\documentclass[preprint,review,12pt]{elsarticle}
\begin{document}
\section{References}
\bibliographystyle{model1-num-names}
\bibliography{sample}
\end{document} 

I want to refer to an article which hasn't an year. In the sample.bib, I wrote

@article{JG,
author    = "J. Gindele and W. Novak and P. Fietkau and P. Neuwirth and W. Leitermann",
title     = "The Transaxle Powertrain of the Mercedes-AMG Sports Cars",
} 

The problem is in the section of the refernce where I have those interogation points related with the article year

enter image description here

I used also

@misc{JG,
author    = "J. Gindele and W. Novak and P. Fietkau and P. Neuwirth and W. Leitermann",
title     = "The Transaxle Powertrain of the Mercedes-AMG Sports Cars",
}

But I have the same problem. How Can I remove this interrogation point from the year place

    How can an article not have a year? If you want to change that, you'll have to change it in the .bst, unless you use some other reference manager (like biblatex). – Werner Feb 18 '16 at 17:46

    Since the piece wasn't published in a journal, it would be wrong to use the @article entry type. Using the type @misc seems far more appropriate. From a quick perusal of the paper, it was circulated last year. Thus, set the field year=2015 and BibTeX and LaTeX will be happy. – Mico Feb 18 '16 at 18:08
