A note on citing my work
I don't have a last name ("Sveinsdóttir" is a description), so the appropriate way to cite my earlier work is as one would a classical or medieval author without a last name, e.g., Hildegard of Bingen. But this gets all messed up in databases, so my suggestion for citing my earlier work is this: Ásta 2008 (published under "Ásta Sveinsdóttir"). From 2017 I publish under "Ásta" only, so subsequent work should be easy to cite.
