CONTEXT: Age of Stupid—Academic Journals Are Omitting the Titles of Cited Papers
I get it, the titles are too long. Still, omitting them takes all the joy out of the references section. pic.twitter.com/IeNHqTA1I9

This makes citations almost worthless unless you want to look up every one to see what it's about. The “saving paper” argument is absurd in an age where the vast majority of publication is electronic and actual printed journals go for exorbitant prices. You almost wonder if academics don't want you to check the cited papers.
