[Crusher Disciple]

Cool! I don't even understand what I just wrote.

 

[Miss Chicken]

Not only don't I understand what I wrote I doubt anyone else would either.

Mine is here

Is it proper to reference oneself in a paper one has written? I would consider that a no-no but I referenced myself twice.

Kobayashi, O., Chicken, M., Sasaki, W., and Taylor, H. P. The effect of autonomous modalities on robotics. Journal of Atomic, Replicated Communication 99 (Jan. 2001), 20-24.

Lee, E., Ullman, J., and Chicken, M. Introspective, interposable algorithms for DHCP. In Proceedings of IPTPS (June 1999).

I prefer the chicken approach myself.

Heh. Nice one.

This reminds me of the Postmodernism Generator that appeared a few years ago.

One reason I went into History is because it's a plain-language discipline that's (relatively) free of jargon.

Historians may be dull, plodding, and pedantic--but you can generally figure out what we're saying without an English-Gibberish/Gibberish-English Dictionary.

Actually it's fairly common to see papers reference the author's previous work.

Yes! Do it so that if you are published, article databases will rank you higher in the citations.

I think Ward Churchill got partially hammered over using his own citations, but he essentially hid the fact that they were his.

I sense two people who obsessively track their Citation Rankings...

I'd have to have more than one paper out there will my name on it first.
