(Btw, I've always found Roland's and his colleagues work to be very interesting and he should be understandably proud about it.) | |
| Nov 22, 2021 at 22:27 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | To offer one's notes to help others understand a topic and perhaps solve problems and owning up to it is not bragging by any definition--that's the point of Q&A sites and other types of collaboration. To say "It has been widely cited by subsequent papers on the subject" is, perhaps, so following your sentiments maybe a "I hate to brag, but it has been widely ... " would be demanded by your support of the gesturing. | |
| Nov 22, 2021 at 20:41 | comment | added | Michaël Le Barbier | @TomCopeland It is usually regarded as impolite and inappropriate to brag about one's results. Apologising for self-promotion is a way to acknowledge this and advertise the quote is not to be understood as bragging, or led by vanity. It can read like “Some people enjoy quoting themselves, I do not.” Many authors prefer to not repeat their names in a paper they write, just mentioning “the author(s)”. | |
| Nov 22, 2021 at 19:42 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | The absurd logical conclusion is to not put your name on your papers. (Then you can avoid all criticism.) | |
| Nov 22, 2021 at 19:33 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | Users are always apologizing for "self-promotion". Why? If you truly believe the ideas you promote through publications can be of little or no interest to others, don't publish/blog, but the quintessence of intellectual progress is sharing ideas. No need to apologize unless you are being intentionally or inadvertently toxic and wish to repent otherwise it comes across as false modesty or, worse, discourages others to offer up their own notes. | |
