bibliography management is a dinosaur (bibtex, endnote) designed for dead-tree serialized documents... with online use bolted on as a bad afterthought (see footnotes in online docs for eg). Need an online-native model. The serialized print doc should be the afterthought.

actually, the idea of a "naked" reference with a very thin pointer as in "John Doe [1] argued that Vulcans are superior to Romulans because XYZ" is a product of scarcity because your private notes about [1] are too hard to expose in a useful way in a traditional research mode.

Today, you'd want a fat/wrapped reference. The core text would be the same, but [1] would point to YOUR public note about the original text. It's like showing your source code. Show your "reading" of your source texts too.

If it's a lazy ref where you didn't actually read it, but are citing it for political/social reasons (for eg. you expect the author to be a likely peer reviewer and want to flatter their conceit up front)... that's actually a social problem with peer review based production.

Interestingly non-academic quasi-scholarly writing does not have this particular problem, though it has others. No kiss-ass citations. I hated those back when I was doing academic writing. I'm working on a whitepaper project now and it's refreshingly free of such imperatives.

Taking a lesson from programming: one of the most important system architecture tools is distinguishing between Model, View, Controller. (And sometimes, View Model.) For texts, “controller” is not apropos, but the work of decoherence is generally about separating View & Model,

so that one can innovate and build upon prior Models. Different texts also come in at different levels. Some are merely new views on old models; others are surveys of views; and very few are genuinely new models. Narrative coherence generally serves to form a View.
