I second this...

It should have support for CSL and citeproc, and be able to communicate with Zotero, Mendeley, Citava, JabRef and other Bibliography Software...

There is a lot of libraries that can be used for this...

To be able to add citations and bibliography directly in Publisher so that we didn't have to first write everything in Word or LibreOffice, would save so much time...

Full support for InText, FootNotes and EndNotes should be available...

Can you please add support for Bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley?
That way we can actually drop Words or other word prosessors for writing and go stright to Publisher to do all our work for books and reports that need references and bibliographies...

Would be great...

I'm working on a graphic-heavy report and re-pagination from the layout breaks what would be accurate citations. This is handled manually at the moment (unless there's a way to jury-rig the Index manager?).
Request
Citation Manager in the top three formats (APA, MLA, and Chicago/Turabian). Ability to set whether the document uses an end-of-section or on-page-where-citation-occurs approach.

And by adding support for bibliography and Reference Tools like JabRef, Zotero and Medeley it will be even easier to make good references/endnotes/footnotes...

I'll add my vote for footnote and endnote support.
> Hope you can implement it in a similar way like in InDesign, . . .
Please, Affinity, whatever you do, don't look at InDesign's notes. Footnotes are at the document level in InDesign, they should be at the level of the story. That way each story can have its own numbering style and start number. It should also be possible (as it isn't in InDesign), to set the first footnote in a text as an uncued note. And users should be able to define their own sequence and appearance of note symbols (asterisk, pilcrow, dagger, double dagger, paragraph symbol, etc.).
> Visit any university library and you'll find that endnotes replaced footnotes long ago, perhaps in the 1950s.
Complete nonsense. Academic publishers prefer footnotes.
> In the era before computers, endnotes were far easier to typeset.
That's why notes were set as endnotes at some stage. Endnotes hung on for non-academic texts and in texts published by penny-pinching publishers, but nowadays footnotes are preferred by many. Footnotes are still more labour-intensive than endnotes, but the difference in effort is not nearly as big as it used to be.
> In today's world, their appearance at the bottom of a page is seen as clutter by most readers. 
In my experience, readers just get annoyed by having to go to the end of the book (or worse, to the end of the chapter in multi-authored volumes). 

Exactly. I don't want to scout for footnotes somewhere else in the book, particularly, where there are many of them.
Obviously, with a very few notes in the document placing them at the back of the chapter or at the end the book is acceptable and oftentimes desirable.
And I agree with Peter. We need greater flexibility than in indesign.

Are footnotes and endnotes currently possible (besides manually creating them, of course)? I haven't found them so far.
If not, this is a feature that I think would be widely used. I suspect it may take some time to get right if it is not yet under development, so I would understand if it is not a day-1 feature.
