I have always been a big believer in ESM's method of citing your sources but after completely my BCG portfolio, I am starting to think it is overkill. I think I can cite the necessary info in a shorter, easier to read format and thus would start using the Basic Style to record my sources. My only concern is submitting any work for publication. Will genealogical publications consider your work if your reports are NOT in the ESM style? I wrote a genealogy column for the newspaper for 5 years and I have had several minor articles published in genealogical magazines but nothing in the big ones like the NGS quarterly. I use Legacy for all of my data and then I extract it as needed. Changing from Sourcewriter back to Basic would be a big step for me and I don't want to mess myself up when it comes to submitting material for publication.
