Day 1 of dissertation. "Ok, I got this, just take your time"
Day 2.. Googling "Can I cite myself?"

Seriously, I want to reference my own book. Is that allowed?

This constant referencing of someone else's work to make it seem like you're not making things up is hard work!

@tonybaloney I’m glad I don’t write academic writing anymore. I enjoyed bits of it, but not the having to decide what to reference or not bit

@s_gruppetta @tonybaloney I hated that too. Being asked to reference people on the review committee always felt icky.

@brettcannon @tonybaloney or trying to cover all the bases to make sure that the anonymous reviewer of your paper is referenced!
