    No should, but must.

    In Academia, stupid as it is, if you use or cite previous work of yours without citing it, it’s plagiarism.

      It’s not stupid. Anyone reading needs to know where a statement or conclusion comes from in case they need to check and see how that conclusion was reached in the first place.
