publications - How should I respond to a reviewer's complaint about self-citation?



Recently, I submitted an article and got a response from a reviewer that I cited 6 of my own articles out of 44. The reviewer said that it’s a cheap act of self promotion.



  1. If I do not cite my own work, how can I expect others to?
