Differential polynomial rings over a universal field and localized twisted polynomial rings over a separably closed field of non-zero characteristic twisted by the Frobenius endomorphism were the first domains not divisions rings that were shown to have every simple module injective (see [C] and [C-J]). By modifying the separably closed condition for the polynomial rings twisted by the Frobenius, the conditions of every simple being injective and only a single isomorphism class of simple modules were shown to be independent (see [O]). In this paper we continue the investigation of injective cyclic modules over twisted polynomial rings with coefficients in a commutative field.
