If you want to get published, then heed this advice:
Cite your friends at least once and your enemies twice,
The editor three times, yourself at least four,
And write in a style that's intended to bore.
If you want to get published, here's what you do
Above all: don't come up with any thing new.
Citations, h-index and all that
At present measurement of the productivity and creativity of
scientist is an area of research in itself. The focus in on citations,
and various indices that can be derived by analyzing citation data. In
private discussions with other scientists I have heard opinions of all
shades about the uses and abuses of citation indices. Since Spring 2012,
the Swedish Research Council
has asked for every paper in the list of publications to be accompanied by its citation
index. To put it mildly, this is stupid and a waste of time.
Here are some links you might find interesting.
- The opinions of the Secretary General of Natural and
Engineering Sciences of the Swedish research council. (The article
is in swedish, but it translates pretty well via google translator)
- Cite this letter an article
by Norbert Untersteiner.
- P. Balaram on the question of authorship in science.
If you really insist on knowing, here
is my google scholar page where you can find the citations for each of
my papers. Note that other search engines, e.g., ADS gives somewhat different numbers.
All my papers are available on the ArXiv
ArXiv.
(except my very first one). Previously I have been using a trick to automatically updated my list of
publications from the ArXiv using the
myarticle widget.
I have notice that this has stopped working since last week (maybe it did stop working before but
I do not generally follow my webpage). Below is a link to an ArXiV webpage which lists all the articles.
(Note that the sequence in which the
articles appear below is starting from the most recently
updated to older ones. Which is not exactly the
same sequence as the inverse sequence in publication date. )
