“If we want to reduce these distorting practices, then we have to take away the incentive to do them. It’s a systemic corruption of the process.”

Whose idea was it to make two completely and obviously different things - Zotero and Zenodo - so completely mix-up-able?
Trying to figure out a way to put Harvard #referencing back on word is taking more time and energy than just using #endnote but I really liked the inbuilt word referencing #essay #undergrad #AcademicWriting #AcademicMastadon

Keen to hear other views on this!

Details of e-books may not be the same as the hard copy versions - pagination, for example, may be displayed differently ...
