HI Igor,
I've often referred to Starlink User Notes in refereed papers, for example,
Shortridge et al. (2002)
with the reference
\bibitem[Shortridge et al.(2002)]{} Shortridge, K., et al. 2002, FIGARO: A General Data Reduction System, Version 5.6-1 (Starlink User Note 86) (Hilo: JAC)
and not had troubles with the referees.
