| May 10, 2020 at 1:37 | comment | added | Nik | @JeffE I was confused because when I saw "J Erickson" and stack exchange, I immediately thought it was Jon Ericson, who is the one that implemented the "cite" button for certain Stack Exchange sites, and I thought "that can't be right", so I clicked on the papers that cited it, and thought "ahh Jeffrey Shallit! The one I passed by on the Waterloo campus frequently over the last 15 years! But why is his username JeffE instead of JeffS ?" ... Then I figured out that your last name is actually Erickson, so confusion resolved! Thank you :) | |
| May 10, 2020 at 1:23 | comment | added | JeffE | @user1271772 Sorry, I spoke too soon. Here's one (self-serving) example: this Google Scholar link shows four citations to this StackExchange post. | |
| May 10, 2020 at 1:15 | comment | added | Nik | @JeffE but when you said "Several questions and answers from both of those sites have been cited in journal articles", are you able to give some examples? I'm very curious! | |
| May 8, 2020 at 19:54 | comment | added | Nik | @JeffE it's nice to know that journal articles cited several articles from MO and CS Theory, are you able to give any example that was picked up by Google Scholar? i.e. Google Scholar shows that a Stack Exchage post got cited significantly? | |

| May 17, 2012 at 0:57 | comment | added | Cameron Smith | @EnergyNumbers I think I understand your perspective on the second paragraph, but the first part of the question scratches the surface of a deeper issue the way I see it. If it is a rant (...written in a wild, impassioned way), then it is one I expect to resonate to some degree with others. I think the political aspects of science are real and should not be swept under the rug in discussion. What I will do is remove what is less relevant to the question and post some of my comments as an answer. | |

| May 17, 2012 at 0:36 | comment | added | Cameron Smith | @JeffE Many thanks for the reference. I suspected that this sort of question might have come up in other places but it was sufficiently difficult for me to find that I thought it was worth posting another question here. I think that, as I have seen mentioned in some of the answers below, the way in which the issues I've raised are dealt with vary significantly by field so it is good to know how they might be dealt with in computer science. | |

| May 16, 2012 at 13:19 | comment | added | JeffE | This issue has come up on CS Theory StackExchange; the most popular recommendation is to copy the BibTeX that MathOverflow generates when you click on a "cite" link. Several questions and answers from both of those sites have been cited in journal articles. | |
