History papers are often so full of sources that a single sentence fills the page. People still demand sources though, or greater explanation, because it's not what they want to hear or read.
I have actually enjoyed how websites just put links on words to various sources, so then it doesn't slow down the reading. That's the future, but so many want it to be the old ways.
It's like the world is stuck in certain time zones, and nothing can get them out of it. US politics thinks its the 70's. Afghanistan is in the 1300's. Academia is 1980's at best.
Beats APA (American psychobabble association, 2021) whose citation method is widely regarded (A. Arthur, B. Bennet & C. Cumberpatch 2021; D. Dingleberry, E. Exasperato, F. Fungible 2020) as "disrupting the flow of any sentence it appears in", as explained by Geovanni, Humphryes and Ignatio (1992).

HTML was invented in 1990. It's sad that we're still at this point.
The very same academics tell me they know all sorts of advanced technology.

Ahhh good old Chicago formatting. I wish papers would just stick all of the citations in the back like monographs do.
The legal field has the same problem lol. Ffs write a paper and you expand it by 33% because of all the darn footnotes!

wat
exactly.
APA (an evil organisation) has a style where you put the citations and year in brackets in the sentence itself, and then at the end of the paper too.
It makes it harder to read and ugly to look at, for no good reason. It hurts every editing bone in my body.
The sources in the back are a different style.
I had a professor say I didn't cite enough sources. So I wrote home a history style paper. He has since relented.
