Research overview
My research at a glance
This page summarizes a number of quantitative, bibliometric indicators about the academic impact of my research. I irregularly update the underlying numbers from my OpenAlex and Google Scholar profiles. Information may be somewhat out of date.
My overall publication record
My complete publication record on this website.
67.2% of my full publication record.
Publications with unusually high citation performance relative to comparable publications, estimated by OpenAlex.
Breadth and concentration of citation attention
How widely are my publications cited?
The following indices show how citation attention is distributed across my 67 publications.
h-index
(recalculated from error-corrected individual publication data, may differ from what is displayed on the Google Scholar / OpenAlex profiles)
An h-index of 21 means that 21 publications have each received at least 21 citations. It combines publication output and citation reach, but generally increases with career length.
g-index
A g-index of 42 means that the 42 most-cited publications have received at least 42 times 42 (=1764) citations in total. Unlike the h-index, it gives additional weight to exceptionally highly cited work.
i-10 index
This is simply the number of publications with at least 10 citations.
Google Scholar and OpenAlex cover partly different sources and may identify publication versions differently. Their citation totals—and therefore the indices calculated from them—can differ.

Which of my publications have the strongest relative citation impact?
What does FWCI show?
Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) compares the citations received by one publication with the average received by other publications in OpenAlex from the same year, of the same publication type, and in the same research subfield. An FWCI of 1.0 means that a publication received the average number of citations for its OpenAlex comparison group. An FWCI of 2.0 means twice that average, while 5.0 means five times that average.
Note: This list only comprises publications indexed by OpenAlex and thus leaves out some publications with a strong impact (e.g. Stanford Encyclopedia Articles)
The calculation uses citations received in the publication year and the following three years. Very recent publications may therefore have lower or less stable values because they have had less time to receive citations.

Performance Relative to Comparable Research
Citation rates differ between research fields, publication types, and publication years. To make a more meaningful comparison, this section uses the "citation normalized percentile" calculation from OpenAlex.
Top-10% publications
My publications in the top 10% by citation percentile: ranked in the 90th percentile or above for citations compared to similar publications (same type, year, and subfield), per OpenAlex's "citation_normalized_percentile" calculation.
Publications belonging to the top 10% in their field
These publications belong to the top 10% by citation percentile: ranked in the 99th percentile or above for citations compared to similar publications (same type, year, and subfield), per OpenAlex's "citation_normalized_percentile" calculation.

Sources and interpretation
Citation counts come from OpenAlex and, where available, Google Scholar. The FWCI values and field-relative comparisons shown on this page come from OpenAlex and are available only for publications covered by that database.
Citation databases differ in their coverage, treatment of publication versions, and update schedules. Figures from Google Scholar and OpenAlex may therefore differ.
