Lee Hopkins, writer

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).


Number of citations Lee Hopkins has received for academic papers since 1998
1232 citations as at 14th April 2024

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].
