Re: Citations?

Except, AFAIK, academics are still largely measured by citations as a quality measure of their publications.

It may be the science equivalent of Lines of Code for programs but it's still a visible and easy metric.

So poor citation levels ARE a real cause for concern in a climate of change where your job is evaporating and local prospects thinning.
