This is an interesting choice:
reducing the citation count to zero. I provide one link to the blogosphere which then links to the rest of the blogosphere and I provide 2 other links to other information. For the rest I use copious links to Wikipedia, which should increasingly replace ritualised citation of methods, algorithms, fundamental work, etc. Of course this isn’t applicable to most current scientific publications, but it’s worth considering whether the reader is disadvantaged. I doubt it.
