Who is the trans academic who cited own work under previous name?

[MsTiggywinkletoyou]

IIRC the paper was written under the current (female) name, and included a list of references, including to previous papers written by the same person under the previous name (I think a different surname as well as first name). So any reader would think, oh, this academic is drawing on a wide variety of sources, but actually it was stealth self-citation.

I am thinking of one recent example (London?) but there may well be others.

PS Other examples of non-trans academics doing a similar stealth self-citation would also be welcome. How did women who married and changed their name handle the situation? There must be a protocol for handling name-changes honourably and above-board.

Natasha Kennedy I believe co writes papers with himself, Mark Hellen?

Natacha Kennedy?

Is it Natacha Kennedy..?

Superduper xposts!

Natacha Kennedy coauthors with himself, or perhaps I should say that Mark Hellen coauthors with herself?

Natacha Kennedy aka Mark Helen also has 2 separate ids live at the university.
Also was the ring leader of the Facebook group trying to identify and oust wrong think academics in UK universities.
Also took an active part in protesting against Julie Bindel.

That's the one I was thinking of. Co-authoring papers with themselves? Beyond the pale.

But there may be others.

Also of irresistible dupers delight smile.

Irrepressible that was supposed to be (autocorrect)

How come they get to dead name themselves? Eh?

Ah, but deadnaming yourself appears to be quite common snd very acceptable, but God forbid anyone else should use your actual previous name

Didn't Heather Peto do that (reference their own work in their deadname) too?

Natacha also plotted on a closed Fb group to remove the wrong kind of feminists from the Wiki Feminist page and replace them with the right thinking male feminists who identify as women.

I did not know about the wiki-fiddling. How can this be countered?

I think you just cite papers with the names as published, but nowadays I guess you'd have the same ORCID associated with former and current name. Women who've already got significant publications tend not to change their professional name, though, even if they do socially.

Actually co-authoring with yourself seems like something that shouldn't ever be allowed.

How the hell did that get past peer review anyway? May have just answered my own question lol

Didn't Heather Peto do that (reference their own work in their deadname) too?

I think they did something like that. I remember seeing post-Heather use of Warren used by Peto themself, can't remember if it was co-authored or not.

Citing your previous work is fine if it is relevant.

If your name has changed in the interim, for whatever reason, then I don't think there's anything you can do but reference with the names as published. Nowadays you usually put in a link to the doi or whatever.

I don't think there is any mechanism to make it clear to a reader that Dr Y used to be Dr X - but the automatic citation stats would hopefully make use of the ORCID which I'd hope would be the same.

So I'm not quite sure (other than obviously 'co-authoring' with yourself is a nonsense) what anyone things could or should be done about citing your previous work under a different name?

I don't have a link but one of my favorite stories in this regard is of a transman whose colleagues didn't recognize him and thought his "deadnamed" earlier work was that of his "sister", and would talk within his hearing about how his work was so much better and how he was clearly smarter. He wrote an article exposing them for their sexism :P

nice story oldermum
