Thread - I don't agree with the summary. Cite papers that have a) influenced your work, b) provide context, or c) help the reader understand (background). Don't cite based on liking/disliking the authors, and don't take it personally if you are not cited. Cite papers not people. @goodfellow_ian/1118193013132550148On twitter.com

It's perfectly possible that authors miss a citation they didn't know about (so didn't influence their work) but that may be good context/background for readers. Pointing that out is the job of (supposedly objective) peer reviewers.Permalink On twitter.com

Asking privately for your own work to be cited is problematic because of the potential pressure this puts on authors, and so needs to be done very carefully (if at all). Not citing some work because the authors have complained publicly is also a disservice to readers.Permalink On twitter.com
