On Aug/94 Martha Conway asked why the e.g. in the reference (see, e.g.,
Alonso, 1964).

What's the context? When I asked one of the psychiatrists I edit for why he
uses this style all the time, he responded that it was a sample
reference--one of many possiblities for the information cited.  Since then
I've often noticed it in the social science journals, but I've never found
an official statement about its use in any style guide.
