--- Comment #16 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
Using the right citation style is crucial for scientific work. Some journals
use in-text references with brackets and numbers like "[1]" while other require
more information, like "(Doe, 1901)". The index also varies to large a large
extend.

Never heard about mixing two styles in one document, so we may allow to define
a style per document and have inserted references and the actual bibliography
formatted in this way.

Ultimately this is a huge effort and LibreOffice only has rudimentary support
implemented yet. The idea to drop the bibliography completely in favor of 3rd
party extensions was rejected (would still be my preference though).

I could imagine a macro solution.
