promotionalism
[edit]We do need a publication list for an academic, but we do not need all his publications. The practice here for those people who publish both books and journals is to include all their books, and selected journal articles. (In this case, I selected 3 most recent, 2 of which are available free online at the moment, though they will soon disappear behind a paywall. Even better would be 3 or 4 most cited, but I'm a little rushed for time.) The relevant rule is NOTCV. And Wikipedia is not a good place for such, for they change frequently--it's the sort of detailed material that belongs on a website and is almost always found there. A list such as the original one is generally regarded as an unmistakable sign of promotionalism. Please do not reinsert it. DGG ( talk ) 16:59, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- Agree with this. Too long a list helps no-one. Itsmejudith (talk) 17:04, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
