Research Impact

This is a timeline of the number of times my work has been cited, over the years 1988 to 2022. Other measures of the influence of my research publications:

  • ResearchGate Score: in the top quintile (over 300)
  • Google Scholar: the total number of these citations is approaching 500.
    My
    h-index is 9, that is, nine of my publications have been cited 9 times or more. Two of them have been cited more than a hundred times each.
  • Any correction of the h-index for multiple authorship would favor me greatly:

          e.g. h-square / total # of authors in h-core articles (Batista et al) = 8.1.

Most of my work was published while I was a university Lecturer B. It can be seen above that the peak of my citations was nearly 30 years later.
