IEEE editorial review: undated normative references? #367

Closed ReesePlews closed 1 month ago

ReesePlews commented 1 month ago

i am trying to add undated normative reference in an IEEE-SA document, but i am having difficulty finding much information about the notation for normative references. does the IEEE-SA flavor support undated normative references and/or undated bibliographic references.

mostly these are for ISO, IEC or IEEE references within an IEEE standard.

thank you

Background: IEEE editorial has stated that some IEEE standards in the normative references should be undated.

Problem: Metanorma / Relaton does not seem to allow the dated / undated reference differentiation as we have in ISO / IEC standards.

@andrew2net could you help check how we should do that?

@ReesePlews we are working on the IEEE references' notation. For now, it's possible to omit a date at the end of a reference. For example, you can use IEEE 1003.13 to refer document IEEE 1003.13-1998.

@andrew2net thank you for the info, i will try this workaround and let you know the result.
