OK, so I’ve managed to do a couple of blog posts now. But the hardest thing so far is somewhat unexpected. How do I do references in a good way on a blog? Should I have a list of references at the end? Should I insert a full citation at every point I want to make a reference? Should I just add links? Links are not that nice, especially not when a subscription is required to read. Should I refuse to use non open access sources? And what then to do about print sources like books?

And please don’t tell the students I try to teach proper referencing about my problems. Or the researchers that ask me questions about reference management.

Or perhaps it’s OK that I don’t know. But any hints and tips for good practice would be appreciated.
