I disagree upon this: it's crossreferencing which is the "quick and dirty" solution, as the citation extract cannot be manipulated alone (same remark abour STRING facility). Unless the bibtex tool allows database export with crossref and abrev expansion, these facilities create a loss of information at source level, not appropriate for static data like citations (I can't think of a more static piece of info than a citation in fact: once typed correctly it will never change, so basically is should be typed only onece by the first author and then only copied :-). -- Jean-Pierre
