I went to work in tech from academia, but I wanted to publish a paper I had started working on during my last months as a researchers. I worked on it during weekends, sometimes snatching hours from work. I sent it out for peer-review and it was published. One year after publication, it collected the astounding number of exactly zero citations.
- Ar-Curunir 6y agousually you need to give talks about and more generally publicize your work; if it's interesting people will pick it up, but they need to be aware of it first. Number of citations also depend on the publication venue: better venue => more visibility => more citations.
- borroka 6y agoYes. I published more than 50 papers before this last one, with wildly variable number of citations.
- bumby 6y agoDon’t feel bad. There’s some research that indicates roughly 70%-80% of publications are either derivative (i.e., not really novel) or only have auto-citations (cited by its own authors)
