I have my PhD now, and have published 3 conference papers and 2 journal articles. I’m not in academia now.
About half of my academic citations came from a poster I presented at a conference from before I started grad school. A poster that was never uploaded online, has no paper with it, and as far as I know, 15 people have seen in real life.
They were citing the online abstract, which has no real meat to it, just a single picture of my choosing and a paragraph of text or so.
Holy shit man. This project was barely science at this point. The methodology was soooo bad, and only made sense because I barely knew what I was doing and the researcher advising me was a bit out of their depth.
