The model is developed fully in three papers, so it takes up a huge amount of space every time I cite it, which I feel is also very irritating to read | |

E.g. first time say "in this proposal we will use the model of Smith, Jones, Burns & White, Some Journal, 1987, hereafter referred to as the Smith model". Then later instead of giving the full citation, you just say "Smith model". This works best if the author Smith is at least somewhat well known in the field. | |

I think getting a friend to read it is a good idea. I might still just cite the sources just to be sure, but the only problem is that I need to use APA citation style, and that has just been increasing the size of my paper too much, and I am very close to the maximum page count. | |
