    It’s not complex when you have a fucking style manual which specifies exactly how you detail references so you don’t have this kind of problem.

    About that, it’s kinda complicated

      Not especially. I’ve worked in the field and unless you get more well-known authors with egos who don’t care to follow the requirements — and there certainly are — you grab a current style manual while working and do some due diligence. Ignorance and fame are not an excuse.
