I’m not quite sure how I didn’t notice before, staggeringly blind is a phrase that leaps to mind, but two of my papers are actually by the same person discussing the same research. Granted they’re a year apart. Granted they cover entirely different segments of the research. And they have entirely different titles. But I can’t imagine how I didn’t notice.
Reading my critique notes, they’re virtually interchangable; only one’s discussing the social aspect and the other the actual care. Feh. Never mind. I think the content is different enough to count them as different papers.
But god do I feel like a prick.
