In this world a single document or</div><div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">journal paper -- perhaps by a single author with a narrow subject</div><div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">focussed bibliography -- is no longer sufficient for useful</div><div style="font-family: Consolas; font-size: medium; ">encapsulation of the complete research output.
