Colleagues:
I just published my dissertation and graduated. I am now writing articles based on the original research in my own dissertation. Do I cite my own dissertation like I would cite any other source or should there be additional disclosures in the body of the text? I look forward to your insights.
Thank you,
Brian
Hi Brian. I don't know what it should be like according to the rules and I wish to know the answer as well. As far as I'm concerned, I cited my papers in the PhD thesis but I don't cite my PhD thesis in the following papers.
Hope you will get the right answer and we will all know what is the proper way of self-citation in such a situation:)
Best, Ulyana.
Hi, Brian,
You have no choice but to cite your dissertation in manuscripts you prepare from it. To do otherwise is to self-plagiarize, but there is not reason to go into lengthy discussion in the text itself. Simply cite your dissertation like you would any other source.
This citation, of course, must be blinded prior to submitting for review and potential publication.
Ahhhh! thank you! I read right past therequirement for blind submission for peer reviewed journals. This is excellent, sir. Thank you! I would never have thought of this, thus, I would have had my submissions rejected for violating the blind sumission guidelines. Thank you for taking the time, Sir. I appreciate your insights.
