WRITE YOUR PAPERS AS IF THEY'RE USEFUL. Because sometimes, somebody, and sometimes, that somebody is Huskie!? or Huskie!?, will attempt to read them.

For example...there's a pretty pivotal piece of information included in 90% of the studies I've read...they all leave it without a reference, or decide to reference this one guy. Let's call him 'Mr. Doesn't Include Citations King' ...or Mr. DICK for short. Mr. DICK includes the parameter, and even references it to an author (Jones 1998)...but never includes the full citation at the end (and as you can imagine...more than one or two people named 'Jones' wrote papers in 1998). He's used this same parameter (a dollar amount) for reports in each of the last five years without adjusting it for anything.

Published research, dear reader, is supposed to be replicable. Yes, even those of you who make a living sending Minimally Publishable Units to Rivista Internazionale Numere Due di Bovini. Somebody might want to use that minimal content.
