Bibliographical information (TITLE, AUTHOR) from several references

I find many Japanese secondary references (e.g. conference proceedings) in the EXFOR
compilation control database. Some of them have not been compiled, but published later again asmain publications and compiled by JCPRG, In TRANS.E039 I added some secondary referencesfrom the database into existing entries. For example I added a conference proceedings publishedin Nucl. Phys. A Vol.738 into E1791.001 as follows:…
AUTHOR…
REFERENCE(T.Zheng, T.Yamaguchi, A.Ozawa, M.Chiba, R.Kanungo,
E179100100005
T.Kato, K.Katori, K.Morimoto, T.Ohnishi, T.Suda,
E179100100006
I.Tanihata, Y.Yamaguchi, A.Yoshida, K.Yoshida, H.Toki, E179100100007

E179100100008(J,NP/A,709,(1-4),103,200210) Main referenceE179100100013C
Title and authors are coded under TITLE and AUTHOR.
E179100100014I(J,NP/A,738,(1-4),38,200406)
E179100100015I

Users possibly extract bibliographical information from AUTHOR and REFERENCE, and add“T. Zheng, T. Yamaguchi, A. Ozawa, M. Chiba, …, Nucl. Phys. A 709 (2002) 103”.
into reference lists of their publication. Similarly the NDS web service provides
T.Zheng+ 2002 J,NP/A,709,(1-4),103,200210
in the list of search result, or@article{J_NP/A_709_(1-4)_103_200210,…
author={Zheng, T. and Yamaguchi, T. and Ozawa, A. and Chiba,…
…
for BibTeX. These are right for the E1791 case, because I put the title and authors of the mainreference (corresponding to the first code under REFERENCE) under AUTHOR and REFERENCE,
respectively. However the EXFOR format rule does not guarantee this usage of combination ofAUTHOR and REFERENCE in general. The first name coded under AUTHOR may be differentfrom the first author of the first reference coded under REFERENCE.

Example (22687.001):…
AUTHOR…
REFERENCE(T.KATOH, S.NAKAMURA, K.FURUTAKA, H.WADA, H.HARADA,T.BABA, T.FUJII, H.YAMANA)

For this case, both
“T. Katoh, S. Nakamura, K. Furutaka,. H.Wada,…, Jour. Nucl. Sci. Technol. 39(2002)705”, and@article{J_NST_39_(7)_705_200207,…
author={Katoh, T. and Nakamura, S. and Furutaka, K. and Wada,…
are not correct, because H. Wada is not an author of the main publication but an author of thesecond reference.
We find the following statement in the 2001 version of LEXFOR:“If a data set has several references with varying co-authors all co-authors may be entered”(This is not written in the present version of LEXFOR explicitly, but not forbidden). If thisstatement is valid still no, our users are always forced to check the original article whenever
there are more than two references (My colleague often complains about this when he prepares
reference lists for his publications). Therefore I propose that the title and authors of the main
publication should be coded under TITLE and AUTHOR, where main publication is defined by
the first code under REFERENCE. I stick this in TRANS.E039 and E040.
I believe this rule brings a strong benefit to EXFOR users because this rule guarantees auto
generation of the correct combination of the first author – title – reference from entries. Maybe
my idea is conflicts with the concept of “work” in EXFOR. Any comments are welcome.
