Joe Kimble on where to put citations
04 April 2011
Judging from reader comments, the most controversial topics discussed on this blog are (in no particular order):
- Full justification of text versus a ragged-right margin
- Two spaces after each sentence (a.k.a. French spacing) versus just one space
- Citations in text versus in footnote
Tackling that third controversy is this recent article by Joe Kimble. In it, Joe explains why he (and a majority of readers surveyed) prefer citations in footnotes.
