(For what it's worth, I am on record as thinking that we presently over-produce papers. https://www.liamkofibright.com/uploads/4/8/9/8/48985425/decision_theoretic_model_of_the_productivity_gap_final.pdf … Now cite me.)

Most published #philosophy goes uncited! Either we're not reading/crediting each other enough, or we're publishing too much. (All my disjunctions are inclusive. #Its2018)http://dailynous.com/2018/04/19/philosophy-high-rate-uncited-publications/ …

I'm more confident that it's both than I am of either one

Couldn’t this also be a sign of lots of subfields that have few people in them? The citations would largely be specific to the sub field and thus rarely cite anything else - smaller communities would mean less citations too, right?
-
Ah I am not sure - since smaller communities also presumably produce less, so there is less one needs to wade through to see all the available work. How it balances out is not obvious to me.

Philosophers are very stingy with citations. I’m sure I saw some data showing that recently but I can’t remember where.

Or do philosophers have to refer less to others in their research process because they develop their arguments themselves / in the paper? In the social sciences I use methods - and parts of methods - of others and, hence, I must quote them.

There is a nice study about referencing in the humanities.https://doi.org/10.1002/asi.21256 …

I mean, in the other fields they REALLY read just a small amount of all that stuff they cite. Or are philosophers the only slow readers around? :-)
