While trying out a new citation style (this is going to take a while for me to write, I'm not just copy-pasting older posts of mine), I'm also doing a spot of double-checking of links / sources.
To give you a draft excerpt, I'm going for something like this:
"There are quite a few pieces of science which call online porn being spooky into question.
A Canadian study showed more gender egalitarian attitudes among users of porn (Kohut et al., 2015). A German study failed to find a link between porn use and sexism or "social dominance orientation" (Von Andrian-Werburg et al., 2023)."
"Kohut, T., Baer, J. L., & Watts, B. (2015). Is Pornography Really about “Making Hate to Women”? Pornography Users Hold More Gender Egalitarian Attitudes Than Nonusers in a Representative American Sample. The Journal of Sex Research, 53(1), 1–11. https://doi.org/10.1080/00224499.2015.1023427
Von Andrian-Werburg, M. T. P., Siegers, P., & Breuer, J. (2023). A Re-evaluation of Online Pornography Use in Germany: A Combination of Web Tracking and Survey Data Analysis. Archives of Sexual Behavior, 52(8), 3491–3503. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10508-023-02666-8"
I think something like that might be easier to follow than a numerical citation format on here, particularly as you can't really hover over the numbers to get more context. The downside is that it's a bit more wordy.
The links are a bit less accessible (they're at the end which someone needs to scroll to) but there is also a bit more context there than a lone link can provide and it avoids littering the text with a lot of links.
The reason I'm experimenting with a new style is that I keep thinking "maybe, it would be useful to add this bit of context, or to add that bit of context" and it gets tacked onto the end and the text becomes harder to maintain.
