Conventions #1

Open MarkK09 opened 4 years ago

MarkK09 commented 4 years ago

Bringing the email conversation started by YB on 23. Oct 2019 to the github as issues, might make it easier to follow on which conventions we have coordinated on.

YB 23 Oct 2019:

  1. Entry names should have the format (Author1_surname Year), if needed add 'b', 'c' after the year. The name should be capitalized. Example: Peters2019b. If there are up to 3 authors, just add the authors' family names, then followed by year. Example: MarsiliMaslovZhang1998. If there are more than 3 - first author's family name added by ETAL, then followed by year. Example: CohenETAL2019.
  2. Author lists should have the format (Author 1 surname, Author 1 first name Author 1 second name ...), with authors separated by 'and'. Example: Benhabib, Jess and Bisin, Alberto and Luo, Mi. The reason is that otherwise there is ambiguity regarding what is actually the last name.
  3. Journal title: Not abbreviated. Example: Physical Review Letters. The bibliography style file and bibtex allow automatically abbreviating if required.

Dio suggested the follwoing cleaning tool: would also add that some entries exist in double, I ran the bibliography on this software: [(https://flamingtempura.github.io/bibtex-tidy/)]

Ole: I think it's ok to update entries into these conventions as we come across them. It will mean old tex files will produce errors with later bibliography files, but we can correct the old ones if needed.

So far the history, the next issue contains my take ;)

During our Lisbon visit, Ole noticed some issues I would like to address.

As agreed let's update old entries as we come across them, but let's keep the entries of former working papers even if they are published in a journal in the meantime and just add a new entry for the published version. This preserves backward compatibility to older projects and actually reflects the fact that it was the working paper one has read back then.
