Well, I guess that would be because when my CV and credentials are reviewed by e.g. study sections of funding agencies, institutional committees making decisions affecting my promotion and academic advancement, potential future employers, etc., many will look at metrics such as h-index and the like, based upon citations of publications rather than deposited structures. I am not saying that this is the way it would be in a perfect universe, but this is the way it is.

Why do you consider it a matter of courtesy to re-cite the structural work? Cheers, Tim
