My pettiest academia opinion is that people care way too much about how a citation is formatted. If I can find the paper you're referencing, you cited it fine. I don't care what's bolded and what's italicized and what order the year vs. issue number is presented in. Fight me. 🧪🦑🌎

A leading paper in my field and the very different ways that different journals require the citation of it to be formatted.
