Standard Citation Forms Report for Bibliographic Standards Committee

Annual 2018

New members

Since Midwinter we have welcomed two new members, Martha Lawler and Jessie Sherwood.

Statistics

The SCF Editorial Team has created 42 new citation forms based on submitted proposals since Midwinter. All have been added to the Standard Citation Forms database. New terms are announced semi-regularly on DCRM-L, and can always be found on the SCF wiki.

The site averaged 1217 sessions and 505 users per month, which is comparable to earlier periods.

Workflow Improvements

We have been testing a new submission form for citation form proposals that will hopefully streamline some of our back-end processes. We will make further announcements when the new form is ready to go live. Many thanks to Kelli Hansen for working with us on this project!

RISM

After consultation with the music cataloging community and the RISM editorial office, we have settled upon a new citation form for RISM. The citation has changed from International inventory of musical sources to RISM (Répertoire international des sources musicales). This will apply to both the print and online versions of RISM; the distinction between them will be made in the $c, as the print version will include series and volume (i.e. Series B, volume III, page 87) while the online version will simply be a numerical string. Thanks to Jane Carpenter and Kate Moriarty for leading the work on making this change.
