All, We need a standard and sensible CZ citation format. WE started some discussion on that on the Forums, but we didn't finalise it -- I forget why.
I have not understood why citation formats need to be different across disciplines. So far, nobody has justified this other than referring to "tradition" or convention. To my mind, this is no reason to make everybody's life more difficult. Perhaps we can discuss this on the Forum?
