Correspondence Courses
Among various lecture notes for basically all my lectures, I have written more elaborate correspondance courses:
Average citation rates up to 2010 in Mathematics for articles written between 2000 and 2010 1) - meaning that an article written in 2000 has 6.76 citations on average until 2010:
2000 | 2001 | 2002 | 2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
6.76 | 6.05 | 5.99 | 5.39 | 4.80 | 4.19 | 3.36 | 2.51 | 1.67 | 0.86 | 0.14 |
leading to an average citation per article of 3.48 in a decade.
For the full research articles below in 10/2020 around 1754 citations are recorded by Scopus, which
is an average of more than 18 citations per article with an h-index of 23.
Google Scholar records 4221 citations,
an h-index of 33 and an i10-index of 45 (since 2015).
The map on the right indicates the location of institutions
citing the articles. MathSciNet shows 1226 citations, compare image.
Today, often citation metrics play an important role in judging scientists. But we need to understand that citation counts rather reflect the activity in some layer of science or some particular field rather than the quality of the science of a researcher. In the last years, my work is moving step by step towards enabling scientists to do their work, getting the money in for them to do the research and to shape the programs which enable them to make progress.
