Dear Sir, A very relevant issue has been raised by Dr. Vimal Kuamr. The different styles followed by different journals not only in LIS, but in other disciplines causes lot of problems to the authors. There is a need that journal publishers follow a standard style of referencing.

ALA launches national campaign against e-book embargo
by Siddu Huded 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Dear Professionals, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – The American Library Association (ALA) and Public Library Association (PLA) announced a public campaign in response to recent efforts to limit library access to e-books. In a press conference held at the Nashville Public Library during the 2019 Digital Book World conference, ALA debuted an online petition at eBooksForAll.org <http://www.ebooksforall.org/> for members of the public to urge Macmillan Publishers CEO John Sargent to reverse the proposed embargo on e-books sold to libraries. (See full petition text below.) “ALA’s goal is to send a clear message to Macmillan’s CEO John Sargent: e-book access should be neither denied nor delayed,” said ALA Executive Director Mary Ghikas. “Our members are telling us their patrons want an easy way to join this movement and demand e-book access for all. We heard them, and today’s launch is the beginning of a public advocacy campaign in support of that. Libraries have millions of allies out there, and we’re inviting them to take action.” http://www.ala.org/news/press-releases/2019/09/ala-launches-national-campai… *Best Regards* *Siddu M.

Request to scholarly journal publishers to follow standard citation styles
by Vimal Kumar V. 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Dear Friends, Indian scholarly journals do not follow standard citation styles. Journals in Library and Information Sciences also follow custom citation styles. Most of the journals ask the authors to follow their custom styles. Custom styles eat the time of authors while preparing references. Journal publishers should follow any standard styles for manuscripts. Social Science journals can follow standard styles like APA. Reference management software like Mendeley and Zotero support almost all standard citation styles. I request all journal publishers in LIS to follow standard citation styles and save the time of authors. Regards, -- Vimal Kumar V.

Too many Referencing Styles are in Practice - no more anyway.
by jiban 12 Sep '19

12 Sep '19

Professional Colleagues, I believe, the issue raised by Vimal is right. Such referencing styles rather create problems in automated indexing for their anonymous syntax. Even these references are lacking their visibility and impact (citation score). I feel this is the right time for a study on ‘referencing practices in LIS journals’ to aware and advice. We can initiate a survey to identify the problems of cumbersome referencing practices and to get the issue resolved in a best way. Too many styles are in practice. No more styles anyway.
