I want to thank @NetflixSA and @stainedglasstv_ for taking my story from print to film. This is such a surreal moment for me!!
#ThePolygamist is my debut novel, the book that got rejected by many publishers. So I took a bet on myself and self published. The bet paid off!!

How accurately do citations reflect the original research? Do authors truly engage with what they cite?

In a new study [https://t.co/txqRRMWZZo] with @david__jurgens and @MishaTeplitskiy, we analyze millions of citation sentence pairs to measure citation fidelity and reveal how fidelity can vary depending on authors’ engagement with prior literature.
