Psychology

After I completed my Honours degree, I practised as a consulting management psychologist with large companies. My fianceé and I conducted primary research and co-write a few psychology academic papers, most on the growing field of the Psychological Contract (see below).

As of 2nd April 2024, I have been cited 1231 times in the academic literature, according to Academia.edu. I checked with Perplexity.ai about the significance or otherwise of this number of citations and it said this:

The key points from the search results are:

Based on the search results provided, 1231 citations for academic psychology papers written 25 years ago would be considered an exceptionally high and impressive number of citations.

• Most academic papers only receive a small number of citations, with 44% of papers never being cited at all[3]. Only the top 1.8% of papers receive 100 or more citations[3].
• In the field of psychology, being in the top 1% of most cited researchers requires around 2,073 citations over a 10-year period, which is about 210 citations per year on average[3].
• Having 5 papers each with over 100 citations is considered very impressive and competitive for a faculty position in many fields[1].

So 1231 citations for psychology papers written 25 years ago would put those papers in the top 1-2% most cited in the field[3]. This is an extraordinarily high citation count, especially for papers that are 25 years old. It indicates the research had a major and lasting impact on the field of psychology[1][2][3].

In summary, 1231 citations for 25-year-old academic psychology papers is an outstanding and highly impressive citation count that demonstrates the significant influence and impact of that research[1][2][3].
