nerzhin comments on Scholarship: How to Do It Efficiently

[nerzhin]

I’m not sure it’s controversial, but I disagree very slightly on the margin. All your points are good. However, if

1. I have already read some papers from an author, and

2. I trust that their abstracts are honest representations of their work, and

3. I am not relying on their work as a basis for my own, but just pointing it out to my readers

I will cite it after just reading the abstract.
