Dear @Harikrishnan U. During this year, I added a total of 9 publications to my profile. As per Google Scholar, my published articles fetch a total of 178 citations thus far. The count is likely to slightly increase.
Thank you for the wonderful topic of discussion. For both the things that you have asked for my answer is "zero". My researches are based on primary data, which I failed to collect this year. Let me see if the situation improves in 2021.
Dear @Harikrishnan U. During this year, I added a total of 9 publications to my profile. As per Google Scholar, my published articles fetch a total of 178 citations thus far. The count is likely to slightly increase.
Our publication has seen the day light numbering 422 .Readers have accepted the same with pleasure in the sense that as on today the number of publication have totally 116,700 & Recommendation 11341 , & citation is 13 .
You spotted a great point. I am working on a publication the draft of which has been submitted, but the grammar check must yet to be completed. I will this year publish it into a prepeint - platform shortly. It is not yet in a public domain, but the project I am involved in is:
"Asia-Pacific eBook Forum 2020: COVID-19 and the Future of Libraries
Accepting the Challenge and Recognizing the Opportunities" 27 October 2020, Available at:
I have not counted how many citations I have gained this year, circa 40. May I comment, the social presence and active role in discussion forums, projects and seminars are more important way of contributing to the international scientific community than the number of publications, or the citations one gains during a single year: COVID-19 is a relevant case-context to examine:
1) Paula, J.R. Lockdowns due to COVID-19 threaten PhD students’ and early-career researchers’ careers. Nat Ecol Evol 4, 999 (2020). Citation: "The lockdowns to contain the current COVID-19 pandemic could unduly impact PhD students’ and early-career researchers’ careers. This is due to the vulnerability of their income, and the time-constrained nature of student and early-career researcher (ECR) research programmes." Open Access:

Please let me claim that during a global scale crisis, like COVID-19 is, the societal impact of a researcher becomes the most important factor and this can be measures via activities on academic and professional social platforms like ResearchGate and LinkedIn. Yours sincerely, Bulcsu Szekely
