    I really like APA not allowing first names for citations. In a world of so much misogny it does feel needed for impartial reviews

    APA or MLA. I have used Chicago and I love the way it looks, but hate having to fix my footnotes over and again it is really annoying.

      You can always say “it is known”. If your reader doesn’t know where the citation came from, they will think they are ignorant lol

    [1]: It was revealed to me in a dream.

    On a serious note, at my college the professors ask for a certain citation style then don’t like it when you follow it. For an APA paper once, the professor suggested I use ibid. for subsequent citations instead. When I showed them the style guide, they said that’s just how they do things here.

    I was using Typst and I didn’t want to edit CSL just to do citations wrong. So I switched to Chicago instead because it had ibid.

    I don’t really care. In college (university) some instructors preferred one, others preferred the other.
