I have seriously been forced to scan the references section in search of lower bounds before. WTF is that?

@ffee_machine Usual reason is need to follow the publisher’s style. No idea why normal templates don’t include dates.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@edwinbrady Normal templates do include dates, though -- all you have to do is include a \date directive, no? But nobody does...1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ffee_machine Because the form of the final thing is decreed by the publisher... sure, the whole thing is rather outdated.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@edwinbrady Well, I mean, in the final thing often you'll see the name and date/vol# of the journal in the footer area I guess1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@edwinbrady but I'm mainly talking about preprints you find on author's webpages (the primary way I read papers anyway :P)1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@ffee_machine I think people just don’t think about it. I know I don’t. Mostly I wish people would give BibTeX, so I should do that myself!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@edwinbrady That would certainly be helpful :) Though I don't know that people regularly *give up* on citing something for lack of BibTeX1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
