This message made me smile, as it shows once again that we all have similar problems! I've just come back from a meeting, where we were drafting a report to our University's Teaching and Learning Committee, to press for more standardised referencing/citation styles to be used. I think we have something like 10 different versions of Harvard in use, plus various numbered styles and also ones that Departments have created for themselves. It all causes a lot of confusion and stress for the students. It also means that we can't create styles for the students using EndNote and RefWorks. Has anyone else been successful at arguing for more standardised style? If so, what arguments did you make?

I would then develop materials to use with students to help them progress from a simple version in Year 7 up to a full version in Year 13. What I would like to know is: which standard would be the best one to persuade/encourage our staff to adopt? Those of you working in FE and HE could perhaps help those of us in schools by suggesting the most used standard. Then we could help you by teaching it to as many students as we can!
