 Citation in Science -
 Don't Quote Me on That

 A discussion with Professor Tim Birkhead

 Tim Birkhead is professor of Evolutionary Biology at the
 University of Sheffield and a fellow of the Royal Society.
 Tim is a well-established author and regular contributor
 to national media on a range of scientific topics.

 Is there a science to citation?

 Are science citations really a reflection of research excellence?

 Why do researchers, sometimes deliberately, mis-cite scientific literature?

 What are the rules and do they really matter?
