WHY 😭

(Same question for papers sent to review btw. Most journals allow for the format of your choice for the first submission. WHY not make it a nice, easily readable format??)

Please, can we just agree to do name-date citations and not random number citations in #ResearchPapers?

The citation often adds nuance, and too often, the sentence and the citation are actually in contradiction! Making it as easy as possible to know what’s cited should be a priority of scientists (and journals).

(PS: I am not a fan of the name-date either but it’s better than the alternative, for now…)
