[Air-L] different strokes for different disciplines

[Barry Wellman]

Different disciplines have different rules re Citation forms.
Sociology (and me) prefer full first names -- we are people after all.
Psych (and those like Comm who follow APA) use initials. This always
seemed antiseptic.

I use Endnote as my reference manager. It will output just about any
reference format you want, as long as you input the full first name when
you input the record. Other ref. managers do the same thing, I am pretty
sure.

So you can, and I do, go back-forth between constricted APA format and
full frontal ASA format.
