Topics[edit]
- to discuss the design on the journal specific citation styles
Issues[edit]
- possibilties to cite a journal article in different ways depending on journal itself?
- shall these be allowed for journals in CoNE only?
- if not - what will happen, when a journal is not in CONE?
- how to relate CoNE journals and Citation styles definition (still keeping them loosely coupled as services?)
- How will the author know wich citation style is choosen for a journal of the article?
- What will happen, when 2 institutes do not have the same citation style for the same journal?
- What will happen when a jurist author write an article for non-jurist journal without special "CONE-Flag" (for example one of our directors writes for iX).
Approaches initially discussed[edit]
- A: make relations in CoNE to the citation style ID
- B: define Citaton Styles for a Journal may be CoNE ID or ISSN or Journal name etc.)
- both have cons/pros i.e.
- Approach A:
- Citation styles must be referencable (makes sense to have repository for citation styles)
- Citation manager i.e. Transformation (not clear which one at present) must always query CoNE (dependency)
- External citation web-services may be involved to deliver the citation
- Approach A:
- Approach B:
- Citation styles can be independent on CoNE (i.e. any metadata journal name, issn or CoNE ID can be used for selecting the appropriate citation to apply)
- External citation web-services may still be involved (transformation/export)
- Approach B:
Structuring the citation styles[edit]
- 1 citation style=1 journal ?
- 1 institute = 1 citation style ? (with journal-specific definitions)
