In general, scholarly papers are very little cited. About half of them, I read somewhere, are not cited even once. Compared to this, my paper Does Religion Foster Generosity? is a roaring success, having been cited at least eight times:

About four years after I first started considering the topic, my peer-reviewed article on the relation between religious involvement and charitable contributions has finally been published in the Social Science Journal, under the title, “Does Religion Foster Generosity?

Right now it’s online-only, and you can only read it if you have access to scholarly databases such as ScienceDirect. At some point it will be assigned to a physical issue of the journal, and then I will have preprints, and then I’ll be able to share PDFs with people.
