It's often the simplest ideas that make the most sense! <br /><br />All I would suggest, being the contrary kind of person I am, is to have the references listed in reverse chronological order, so the most recent would be at the top, i.e. would be more prominent.<br /><br />And especially where many cited documents may be from a single year, and therefore possibly difficult to find in the list at the end, I would favour the citations in the main text being made slightly longer, with the month given as well as the year, e.g.: (Copeland, Oct. 2007, p.17) instead of the standard (Copeland, 2007, p.17).<br /><br />Let's see how others feel, but yes, I think it's an excellent idea.<br />Rgds<br />Chris</i>Rick Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07028422984421301184noreply@blogger.com
