How do you reference simultaneous publications to each other ?

AI Thread Summary
When dealing with multiple papers pending publication that are interdependent, referencing them can be challenging. It is acceptable to cite these papers as "submitted for publication" or "accepted for publication." If a version of the paper is available in a repository like ArXiv, it can be referenced using the repository's citation. However, it's noted that if the papers rely heavily on each other for clarification, it may indicate that they should not have been separated into distinct papers in the first place.

If i have three or four papers pending publication, review, rejection to another journal etc (a process out my control) and these papers depend on each other for clarification then how do you reference them to each other ?

can you reference to a pending publication such as a repository held version of the paper which i have uploaded ?

You can either reference them as "submitted for publication" or "accepted for publication", or if you have it uploaded to a repository such as ArXiv, then cite the ArXiv reference.

That said, if the papers "depend on each other for clarification", they should never have been separate papers to begin with.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
