Title | Copy letter from James Hopwood Jeans, Secretary of the Royal Society; to Prof. [Francois Antoine Alfred] Lacroix, Foreign Member of the Royal Society |
Date | 20 March 1924 |
Description | Replies that the Royal Society does not enforce bibliographical rules on authors. That a committee considered the best system of references when the Royal Society undertook Catalogue of Scientific Papers, and a system is used in that catalogue, for which a list of abbreviations appear at the beginning of each volume. States that the reason the Royal Society have not adopted a system of rules for referencing is due to the fact that other societies have found it impossible to enforce; states the Astrophysical Journal does still insist on a code for referencing. Ends by saying the printers are instructed to print volume number in Arabic and Roman numerals. |
