Academics are overly verbose with citations, because they are afraid of offending a colleague or reviewer by omitting their work. One of the worst things you can possibly do is forget to cite the work of your anonymous reviewers... and there is no way to guess who that might be ahead of time, so you cite everyone. An anonymous whitepaper has no such constraints, so you can just cite what is actually necessary to explain your point, and nothing more. |
