Our new Instructions for Authors proposes to make a clear distinction between formal citations and informal references.
Published Literature, or formal citations, includes published materials available to future researchers. All entries have an author/compiler/editor/manager (person or organization), a date of publication, and title and publishing information to uniquely identify the materials. Contractor reports to a public agency fall in this category if they can be clearly and uniquely identified.
Informal References includes everything else: personal communications (letters, notes, and conversations), unpublished reports, legal citations, and data bases. More on data bases will appear in a later post.
