I’m so old that the last time I wrote a research paper, it was on a word processor with no Internet connection or spell check.

Given such constraints, I can’t fathom the concept of waiting until the end to add all the references. If I didn’t do it as I went, I’d have surely died.

Yes having friends/colleagues read papers before submission is still common practice.

  I hope that wasn’t a stupid question. I’ve been out of that game since before most people on the Internet were born, so I didn’t want to make assumptions based on “that’s how we used to do it.”

    I think that type of feedback is a forever thing. How it may be done can change (even some PIs just do comments in the file instead of printing and handwriting) but I don’t see a scenario when that isn’t useful anymore.
