Help:Bibliographic naming conventions

Legacy conventions

In the previous incarnation of this wiki, the references were named using the following conventions.

• Each author was assigned a two or three letter code (see table below). Initially, this code was the first two letters of the last name, but as the number of authors increased, codes had to be assigned in a fairly ad hoc manner (although the first letter was still always the capitalized first letter of the last name of the author). Example: T. Kato would be "Ka", while K. Kato is "Kak".
• If an article was published, then the reference name was all the author codes (in the order appearing in the publication, which was almost always alphabetical), followed by the full year of publication. Example: KnPoVe1989
• If several papers by the same authors appeared in the same year, then all but one of the papers would be assigned an additional letter (b, c, etc.) to distinguish them. Example: Ka1979, Ka1979b
• If a paper was in preprint form only, the year would be replaced by a "-p". Example: CoKn-p. In principle, once the paper appeared, the reference name would be updated accordingly, but this turned out to be impractical due to lack of time and resources.

Current conventions

We have not yet decided on what the best conventions for references should be. For now, we shall use the legacy conventions until a consensus emerges as to what the ideal conventions should be, and then migrate the references over. Please see the discussion page for discussion on what the conventions should be.
