Meaning if someone says, "I did this years ago and you didn't even cite me," you can effectively say "How was I suppose to find your paper when you didn't even cite any of the most important papers on your topic?" Basically, it would be hypocritical of them to accuse you of not finding them when they didn't bother to find anyone else. | |

| Nov 1, 2012 at 21:30 | comment | added | gerrit | @Dror I use mostly Scopus. My girlfriend uses adsabstracts but I think that's only for her field. When I don't have access to a journal I do a web search on the title to see if I can find a PDF copy somewhere else (for example, on the author website). | |
