From the current consolidated Google AI Copyright class action lawsuit. Given that the case is likely to affect millions of people, the lack of transparency is ridiculous. Not just this suit either - others like it are the same.

Maybe my perspective is skewed by reading law review articles with (no exaggeration) 600 footnotes, but I’d much rather have all the references. If you don’t want to read them, it’s easy to skip over. It’s not like there’s a shortage of available PDF space.

Journals requesting authors decrease the number of cited papers to meet some arbitrary threshold for a particular article style certainly seems like scholarly misconduct
