I got my first citation as a undergrad!

To be honest, a year ago, I had no idea about academia or research. Reaching out to a college alum 12 months ago, who was a postdoc and ran a research collective gave me a glimpse into what it’s like to be part of this world. The first paper I worked on with him and the support of many co-authors, was a non-archival publication at a AAAI-24 workshop. I submitted the paper in June 2024, and today, I just found out on the paper received a citation.
This is my first-ever citation and the fact that someone actually read my work and found it valuable enough to cite is so cool.

Thanks for reading!
