Hey, academic journal editors... I have suggestion.

@rwg @academicchatter wait, that is a thing? Granted, I've been out of academia for quite a while now, but I never thought about citing my own stuff in any way different from the rest. Not exactly for your reason (hadn't even thought about that) but just because it's weird and I'd have to go the extra mile instead of just using my normal citation tools.

@namenlos @academicchatter Yeah, it's a thing. If I cite something I wrote in the normal manner, I am most often told to "anonymize it" by converting it to "Author" or (worse) "Author 2020."

@rwg I haven't seen the 'blinded'/'author' requirement in years because of these concerns.
I guess there are different disciplinary norms?
-
@mplouffe I see it all the time in communication and media studies.

@rwg how do those editors imagine the peer reviewer check those citations? A peer reviewer should check that a sample of references say what the article says they say right?

@AndrewBurgessPhD @academicchatter
This is interesting -- I've reviewed in media and communication and several similar fields, and I've seen this quite often. Sounds like some fields need to catch up!

@rwg @academicchatter I don’t ask the journal. I just do like you.

I've done this and had papers sent back asking me to change it to "author".
