If items were referred with a number (1), (2), instead of a name (Johnson,
Burke and Halliday - for example) the number would take up less space. All
of the references could be placed below (or on the back for a paper copy).
The more white space there is, the more likely it is to be read.
As unpleasant as this sounds, most things that are read are "bathroom
reading." I like to tell my moms/students that they are "stoplight reading."
I keep things like this in my car (or bathroom) so I can pick it up and read
quickly, and pick it up again with a few extra minutes. Waiting after
dances, during music class, or a doctor appt is a good time to pull out a
quickie read.
Glad you're considering this! It is really good information, and something
most people don't think about.
Best wishes,
Sam Doak
<**Wohooh... I agree on keeping the references, but let's be careful about
thinking that the fact that references are stated are a guarantee for
credibility.
After all, you can say all kinds of rubbish in any article and impress the
general public with the reference; this tactic is used more often than we
like by our ABM-friends!
We'd better try and find a way to create a more thorough, mammalian worthy
credibility. ;o)
