Citing your own paper or not within the thesis?

H

Hi,

I am wondering whether I should cite my published paper or the chapter in the thesis where the findings are?

So for example:

Study 1 results are in Chapter 4 and they are published in a journal paper too.

I am writing the discussion of Study 6, where I want to make reference to one of Study 1's results. Should I cite Study 1-Chapter 4 or the journal paper?

Thanks :)

Hi Hugh,

I think it's personal choice. I just cited my chapters and didn't mention my paper in the text. I just included the paper in an appendix at the end.

Thanks, I think I will do that too, I suppose that way there'll be consistency across the thesis, in case one of my later studies are published after I submit and before the viva.
