Hi. I'm pre-reading my section and have some questions. What do we do in the following cases:
- ("see [TITLE OF A DIFFERENT CHAPTER]")
- in-line reference to a page number (e.g "see page xxxx")
- in-line reference to a photo (e.g. "see the picture of ... on page xxx)
- in-line reference to the names of authors of bibliographical material (e.g "so it it with the deep sea and the swells" (Maury and Simonds))
Skip 2 and 3, I guess, since they have no use in an audio material, possibly retain 1. I don't know about 4 (perhaps retain if they are specifially mentioned in the text).
Suggestions?
I suggest, retain 1 and 4, skip 2,3. My reasoning: imagine someone listens to research the history of science, then a reference to authors or bibliography would be useful. OTOH, I doubt anyone would use this production to learn, as it was intended 100 years ago, so 2 and 3 are useless.
FWIW.
Yes yes, 3 people - 3 opinions.
The only thing I would leave out is 4 - IF this is indeed in parenthesis. This could just as well be a footnote and we usually omit the purely bibliographical ones.
2&3 is more tricky. Again, if it's in parenthesis, I would leave it out in any case. As part of a sentence... well... I guess the question is whether the sentence makes sense after you left out the reference. I agree that refering to page numbers in an audiobook is a bit weird, but at the same time, we don't know if the listener doesn't have the book open and/or nearby and would like to quickly have a look at that image.
So yeah. No fixed rules, really.
