  The truth during grad school when you get assigned more reading than is humanly possible. 🥲

  82% of researchers cite studies without reading them, I’m pretty sure I read this somewhere

    You seemed to have forgotten to cite your source.

    The actual number is estimated to be 37% according to one study. Nowhere near your number but still pretty high if you ask me. Source

  I like bad citations on artificial skimmed milk as well.

  I have my PhD now, and have published 3 conference papers and 2 journal articles. I’m not in academia now.

  About half of my academic citations came from a poster I presented at a conference from before I started grad school. A poster that was never uploaded online, has no paper with it, and as far as I know, 15 people have seen in real life.

  They were citing the online abstract, which has no real meat to it, just a single picture of my choosing and a paragraph of text or so.

  Holy shit man. This project was barely science at this point. The methodology was soooo bad, and only made sense because I barely knew what I was doing and the researcher advising me was a bit out of their depth.

  Im genuinely confused. Then why even cite those articles? Is there a hard rule for “You must cite this much articles” before publishing?

    I think that has to do with this xkcd:

    When advertisers figure this out, our only weapon will be blue sharpies and “[disputed]”.

    Often yes, also, you may genuinely have to review A LOT of articles to make your point, and at that point, reading them in whole alone is gonna take you a few weeks time.

  The abstract is there for a reason. Shrug.
