In many of these cases I have seen instances of "double dipping", i.e., ArXiv preprint and subsequently published article both citing article A, and Google Scholar counting those as two Massimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565804412343316037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-41075255897707533442011-11-22T10:36:25.494-05:002011-11-22T10:36:25.494-05:00Hi Bee,

Both Spires as well as Google scholar seem to list & count preprints without journal reference. Stefan's guess why his article has about twice as many citations on Google scholar as on Spires is that they may count internal reports which are online, but not on the preprint server.

Those were the days :o) The paper also taught me a lesson: The title doesn't contain any of the relevant keywords that the topic later became known under, which is the reason why it has happened like a dozen of times that I had to write an email to somebody saying, look, we did that already Sabine Hossenfelderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151209308084588985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-40686967272432799632011-11-20T19:01:41.910-05:002011-11-20T19:01:41.910-05:00"my dear husband is evidently author of a pap..."<i>my dear husband is evidently author of a paper with 3990 citations.</i><br /><br />Not to mention being mighty good with the lab work, too.

One thing it had me to discover is that you co-authored a paper with Stefan back in 2003 which also happens to be one of most cited for either of you. This then further confirms for me that you formed to be a good combo right from the start.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Phil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22973357.post-74656600129847127372011-11-20T17:46:59.428-05:002011-11-20T17:46:59.428-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Warnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671311338712852659noreply@blogger.com
