Older papers never cited???

Really good question about citation practices in #neuroscience and #psychology.

Established PIs have a responsibility to teach junior students to understand the history of the fields.

@PessoaBrain I wonder how much search engines have contributed to a recency bias? I came of age before everything was on line. I spent hours looking up studies in citation index and looking through the references in every article I read. I feel like I gained a better feel for the breadth of research than I do now using our libraries search engine. With the search engine, I am more focused on narrowing search results.

Mike, you and I are on the "older" side of things 😅
