Citation style
I would like to follow up on the suggestion that we adopt a particular citation style (or offer a couple of options to authors.) I'm most familiar with APA, and many authors use that style. MLA is the style I prefer personally, because I think it's useful to include complete first names for authors.
I would like to revise the instructions for authors and ask them to use APA or MLA. I will also ask them to include an abstract, because we need one, and most authors are not supplying one, although quite a few do.
Thoughts on citation style? I'm happy to go with the will of the group on this one.

I like APA, in spite of having used MLA more frequently prior to library school. Certainly, I prefer its in-text style more than MLA.
Personally I prefer MLA, but I do feel that APA is more appropriate for this journal
APA would be more apt for LPP. Along with abstracts, authors can be requested for few Key Words.
When I submitted to Library & Information Science Research, they wanted APA with one exception. They wanted first names spelled out. We can do the same.
