Many Academician (the highest level of scientists) and researchers in Georgia think that number, quality and citation does not matter. All this is not important and important is to "conduct research". If they are right, could someone explain how can we value their role and success in Science?
Hi,
You are right in asking the question. The number of publications and citations give indication as to the productivity of the author , and the amount of attention given to his work by the academic community. These are objective measures, and they include the necessary elements by which the research can be evaluated.
I agree with Avishag Gordon, citations and number of publications are objective measure of acceptance ofthe researchers works by the scientific community and productivity of the researcher respectively.
Thhe number of publications are very important, in my institution promotions to the senior cadres are based on the number of publications, quality of publication and quality of the Journal in which the research was published. Number of citations are equally as important, it means people are reading your work and liking it enough to reference it.
Yes, undoubtedly the number of citations and number of publication matter for scientist.
High number of citations shows the importance, uniqueness, and gravity of your research conducted in your field among the academicians and researchers. High number of publications indicates your ability to carry out good amount of research and high citations certifies its worth.

Notably, the importance of the number of publications and citations has long been recognized in the academic world. The adage, " publish or perish" has a familiar ring to those involved in academic research since citations and publications are metrics showing the researchers' involvement in their respective fields. In point of fact, publications and citations lead to reviews of one's work which provide researchers with a motivating force to revise and improve their works. Without being exposed to criticism and review, a scientist would never know his or her true depth of his or her ideas.
A set of landmarks that help motivate some scientists, especially early in a career.
Of course, it is exactly like a singer, the number of albums, the number of concerts, the number of admirers.
Both number of publication and citation are important for career evaluation. But most importantly the quality of the publications with emphasis on new innovation and originality attract citation which is a function of a good and relevancy of a job. This commands respect and motivates researchers.
In my opinion, yes, the number of publications and citations of a scholar matters. The number of publications indicates how much the scholar is involved in his/her field of study. Similarly, the number of citations indicates the quality of the scholar's work.
I think the number of publication and citations are important and an indicator of researcher's productivity.
