Referencing

Hi there, is there any chance that I could convince you to use the 'Cite news' template for PapersPast ↗? I appreciate that to fill out the parameters is a little bit more work. It does give a neater looking reference, though. If you need to have anything explained, let me know. Just ask; here’s good.
