You do need to do that though.

If someone wants to read further information they need the citations.

You are supposed to cite all your relevant previous works in each paper you publish.

She probably did. But the reviewer won't know that as the paper (should) get anonymized before review. The author's own name will be censored all the way throughout the paper with certain publishers.

I doubt that since the comment was a suggestion to read and cite herself. If she did cite herself the assumption would be that she did read the citations so the comment would be moot, no? Why would they suggest to cite herself if she already did?

They only anonymize the author, not the citations right?

Because the reviewer didn't actually read the paper

You are absolutely right, but how are you going to make a fire Twitter post if you can't engineer a situation like this? 🤔

I mean, I can't really talk, I'm still working away at undergrad level; and I've got all the social media clout of the average housebrick.

When I was in graduate school I got snared into evaluating potential new professor hires. One guy had like a couple of thousand publications, but they were all in journals that he had founded and was the editor of and nobody but himself and his friends ever got published in them. Amazingly, his CV included the publications and also all the journals that he founded and was the editor of. I pointed this out in a meeting and somehow this did not disqualify him from consideration. I was like, is this what everybody in academia does?
