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. Warm regards to all. Jiban K.
