One of my personal and professional goals as a scientist was to reach 300 citations by my 30th birthday. With a little over a month to spare, I was able to do it! Thank you to all my PIs, co-authors, mentors, and advisors for helping me make this happen. #epitwitter

My research has been cited in news article and I feel like that’s a milestone!!!

[Robert T. Fairman, PhD, MPH, CHES® @FairmanRT]

@DrTamaraWDias Send me a message! I'd love to make this happen.

[Robert T. Fairman, PhD, MPH, CHES® @FairmanRT]

@EpiEllie knocks it out the park with this explanation, yet again. There is also an art to citations in academia, especially in journal articles and dissertations. For example, APA formatting talks about overcitation, which can be found here: https://t.co/hiTtaHRGS0.

[Dr Ellie Murray, ScD @EpiEllie]

I am a methodologist. Methods is a speciality. We make recipes for others to use.

When I publish methods, I include relevant code, equations, assumptions, & interpretations. I *intend* for people to re-use these.

Citation is expected. Quotation marks would be ridiculous.

[Robert T. Fairman, PhD, MPH, CHES® @FairmanRT]

I started this paper the my first semester of my PhD (November 2019). This paper taught me so much about collaboration, perseverance, and the importance of communication. Thanks to the @ITCProject team. @GSU_Research @PHGSU https://t.co/3i2HIBsCX6
