  A different kind of problem. Sometimes there are just five people working on a particular theme. Avoiding entirely to cite your previous work because some people could frown is stupid. Hides a fifth of the extant knowledge to the readers for no real benefit. As researchers now are required to produce constantly, they only can release small increases in their work. Each article isolated will not made any difference, but are part of a slow chain. Results don't come necessarily in a constant predictable stream. Citing the previous chapter in those science series is reasonable or even necessary to understand the current article. Citing only your work and not other's work would be the problem. And sometimes this things just happen. I could talk about "my curriculum" on the official web of my university. A list of several articles with my name. I never wrote, toke part on the design on the web or supported it in any way. And is totally fake. I didn't wrote a single one of the articles cited on it. After scratching my head a little I see that they commit a obvious mistake in the database query (that is not my problem anymore to fix).
