“Come on, they’re not even published!,” they exclaim.
Is this really a thing?
I understood that today you even city web pages (with a time stamp) and even your dog.
- glup 9y agoYes, this is a thing. The existence of a citation format isn't a blanket endorsement of its use in all ways in a scientific work. For example, in linguistics I could cite a specific usage example from a (non peer-reviewed) webpage. On the other hand I wouldn't want to cite a (non-peer reviewed) webpage that outlines a specific linguistic theory.
