Use when formatting references and applying the MIND house style to a Mind article. Mind provides a MIND Stylesheet and requires accepted papers to be prepared in its house style; line numbering is required for review. Handles citation mechanics and formatting; it does not write the argument.

# Citation & MIND House Style (mind-citation-and-style)

Mind has its **own house style** and supplies a downloadable **MIND Stylesheet**. A generic Chicago or
APA export is not the house style — accepted papers must be prepared in **MIND style**, and the review
copy must meet Mind's preparation rules (notably **line numbering**). This skill handles the mechanics
so formatting never becomes the reason for friction.

## When to trigger

- Setting up references at the start, to avoid a painful conversion later
- Preparing the **review copy** (line numbers, anonymization) before submission
- Converting an accepted manuscript to the **MIND house style** post-acceptance
- A referee or editor flagged inconsistent or non-house-style references
