Hi Mitchell,

Have you raised the citations issue on the Scrivener for Windows forum? In my experience, the support there is very good by most standards.

I should say straight away that I have no experience of Scrivener for Windows, or using either version of the software for academic or legal work. But I do know that a number of users successfully use Scrivener for such applications, including those that require extensive citations such as doctoral theses. The Mac version was modified early on its development to allow citations software to plug in. I think the developer took the view that it wouldn’t be worthwhile for him to develop his own citations functionality when good plug-ins already exist.
