Hi all,
I already tried to raise this question during Victoria interop in 2006 and there was a short discussion that time, however with no real effect.
There is NO normal way to refer to IVOA documents (recommendations, notes, etc.) in refereed papers / conference proceedings. Our documents don't have bibcodes, therefore they are not listed in ADS.
Are there any plans to change this? Who should take care of this -- DCP IG? When? I've noticed that usually there is no affiliations provided for the authors of IVOA documents.
I would be happy if there's a quick solution. In the paper I'm writing right now there will be references to at least 4 IVOA standards (Rs and WDs) + 2 IVOA notes. I can't imagine what a referee will think when he/she sees the ``IVOA'' abbreviation for the first time in his life + all these references to the documents available only as HTTP URLs at some strange web-site (ivoa.net) without obvious links to major astronomical institutions.
With best regards,
