DESCRIPTION:Many academic journals limit the number of references allowed i
 n articles or include them in the word count. However\, this can lead to b
 iased citation decisions. For example\, if three references are relevant t
 o a claim\, but only one is permitted\, a researcher may favor their own s
 tudies. \nIn fact\, after a top-tier psychology journal implemented a refe
 rence limit\, the percentage of references to authors who are people of co
 lor decreased\, while self-citations and references to overcited countries
  increased. This was not the case for a comparable journal without referen
 ce limits.\nIn the context of current calls for more intentional and inclu
 sive citation practices\, annotated reference lists can be a starting poin
 t. However\, for daily academic review and publishing practices\, automate
 d reference evaluation tools could be a more effective alternative to refe
 rence limits. These tools could promote conciseness\, accuracy\, _and_ inc
 lusiveness in scholarly referencing.
