My RFE is quite general and no specific questions regarding my citation. Please search 'fenghong' for the detials of my RFE.
My lawyer did not address this issue in the response and just simply say that I have about 40 citations. My citation list by Google Scholar was attached anyway and only independent citation papers were printed and particularily highlighted and marked (about 15 papers).
I put the standard sentences in several my independent letters, "Dr. XX 's work has been cited extensively and will tremendously assist other researchers with their ongoing projects", something like that.
Hope this might help and good luck!
