RE: Fighting plagiarism and intellectual dishonesty with proper citations
Something interesting to ponder is the content presented in the recent post by @justtryme90 about the actual audience reached by science blogs versus the intended audience. I mean yes I do completely agree that good referencing is, to some extent, required (and proper referencing makes a blog go from being like a 6 in sexiness to a 9 so fast, if that makes sense)
Thanks. I will check that post out :o)
I don't think that you will really notice much of referencing if it is done properly. Whenever a fact is presented you just put a number in square brackets. I am not sure if that harms the sexiness of a post.
What I think is most harmful for sexiness is when you present all the details behind a result. But for most fields you can write a result driven sexy post without details.
No the numbers in square brackets don't take away from sexiness, what does though is when someone has a link that goes nowhere and so it would just reload the page if clicked. Just my opinion though on that one!
Yeah. I agree :o)
