Homo Citans and Carbon Allotropes: For an Ethics of Citation

By Roald Hoffmann, A. Kabanov, A. Golov, D. Proserpio. Angewandte Chemie, 2016

324 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Cite we must, cite we do. We cite because we are links in a chain, using properties and methods validated by others. We also cite to negotiate the anxiety of influence. And to be fair. After outlining the reasons for citation, we use two case studies of citation amnesia in the field of hypothetical carbon allotropes to present a computer‐age search tool (SACADA) in that subsubfield. Finally, we advise on good search practice, including what to do if you miss a citation.

Subfields: Catalysis, Organic Chemistry
