“In my opinion, the author-level metric can distort a real author's citation impact. For example, an author who has an h-index = 2 obtained on the basis of two published papers of which each is cited twenty times is more influential than an author who has an h-index = 3 obtained on the basis of three published papers of which each is cited three times.” ScienceInspirational QuotesMotivational QuotesInfluenceResearchAuthorSociologyPublicationAuthorshipScientific ResearchCitationSociology QuotesScientific WorkAuthor Level MetricCitation ImpactCitation IndexPublished Paper Author:Eraldo Banovac
“Think of a "discovery" as an act that moves the arrival of information from a later point in time to an earlier time. The discovery's value does not equal the value of the information discovered but rather the value of having the information available earlier than it otherwise would have been. A scientist or a mathematician may show great skill by being the first to find a solution that has eluded many others; yet if the problem would soon have been solved anyway, then the work probably has not much benefited the world [unless having a solution even slightly sooner is immensely valuable or enables further important and urgent work].” ScienceDiscoveryScientific DiscoveryTime Value Of MoneyTime ValueScientific WorkTime PreferenceCounterfactualCounterfactual ImpactCounterfactualsHigh Impact Science Book:Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies Source: Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies
