Different disciplines have different rules re Citation forms. Sociology (and me) prefer full first names -- we are people after all. Psych (and those like Comm who follow APA) use initials. This always seemed antiseptic. I use Endnote as my reference manager. It will output just about any reference format you want, as long as you input the full first name when you input the record. Other ref. managers do the same thing, I am pretty sure. So you can, and I do, go back-forth between constricted APA format and full frontal ASA format. Barry Wellman, aka B.
