You’re so Vain, You Probably Think This Article Should Have Cited You

Have you ever been upset because an article didn’t cite you? I have. When I was a doctoral student and new Assistant Professor, whenever I came across a new article in my research area (mostly racial/ethnic identity, in those days), I would immediately look at the reference list to see if they cited my work. I remember even doing this shortly after I published my first paper, when it was impossible that the paper could be cited any time remotely soon, given the glacial pace of publishing in psychology (this was well before preprints were used in the field). The vast majority of times when I checked if I was cited in an article, I was quite disappointed to find that I was not.
