3. Where My Work Has Been Cited (2011-Present)

Materials in Which My Work Has Been Cited

A scholar’s relevance in and influence on his field should be measured not merely by his own publications, but also by how often other scholars cite his work, whether in support of it or in opposition to it; either form of engagement would show that he has contributed to the debate, and, hopefully, broadened the collective knowledge of his field. Here are the scholars who have cited my work from 2011 to present.
