For making the citations available to be cited, I tend to agree. MPQC[1] http://www.mpqc.org/pub.php says: "We request that publications using results produced by MPQC cite it as described by the CITATION file in the MPQC distribution. These generally have the form: " It then goes on to list the appropriate citation. I do like the approach of having a simple plain text file - while not machine readable does make it clear the appropriate citation - (and in this case the request that "modified by author, institution, location, year be added if appropriate"). Supplying the information in a widely used bibliographic format _as well_ would be nice - and make it easier to pull out for the tasks web pages. To answer a question from somewhere else in the thread, I don't know if it is standard, but Phys Rev Letters includes a doi field[1] in bibtex format citations. Chris [1] The latest PRL cover article is doi = {10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.158102} for example. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
