Sometimes, as scholars, we get the urge to look up how our papers have been faring. I don’t do it often, but I did it recently and was pleasantly surprised!
For instance, my paper on hospital gown redesigns as patient-centered interventions has been cited by Hong et al. (2025) in a mixed-methods study published at the Journal of Engineered Fibers and Fabrics. It is rather encouraging, as a scholar/researcher, to know that some of your work has contributed meaningfully to the field. In this case, their study sought to optimize the hospital gown for a specific population, with effective results. I’m glad it worked out!
Some of my art-historical work has been cited as well. For instance, the paper: “Of Women Pioneers, Relics and Proto-Abstractions: A Visual Analysis of O’Keeffe’s Manhattan” was recently cited in Pichranan’s “A Transitional Period in Life: A Study of Georgia O’Keeffe’s Artworks During a Period of Mental Loss (1929–1936).”
Likewise, my paper on Gauguin’s Eve (1890) has been integrated into coursework at Jawaharlal Nehru University! This was an exciting find, and I hope that the research completed has been engaging and insightful for students and scholars of Gauguin.
