UTOPISM. *** In the long run, nothing else is realistic. *** Welcome to the English language blog of Morten Tønnessen, Professor of philosophy at University of Stavanger's Department of Social Studies.
According to Google Scholar my research (cf. my profile) has by now attracted 630 citations (+15 since December 26). This includes 124 citations in 2021 (+14 since December 26).
My i10-index is now 25 (+1 since December 26), meaning that 25 of my papers have been cited at least 10 times each.
My h-index remains 14.
In 2021, I logged 3.114 work hours. This compares to an average work week of 59,7 work hours (holidays included). This is my third-longest work week ever, beaten only by 2011 (when I finished my ph.d.) and 2012 (my first year as an associate professor and about the time up until I became a father), and compares to 184,5% of a normal work week.
Other highlights: As expected, the category "UIS" increased the most and reached record levels, while research and book projects had a significant decline. Also the broad category "academic" reached a record level, at the cost of literary projects and "other tasks".
Today I have had this year´s last writing day, with some 1.400 words written on my chapter "Nosology and semiotics". Total number of writing days for the Autumn is 31,5. Adding the 49,5 writing days I had this Spring, this means the total number of writing days for 2021 is 81 (compared with 94 in 2020).
Altogether I wrote 15.359 words this Autumn. This is the least since Spring 2019. For 2021 as a whole, I wrote 41.178 words (compared with 84.739 words in 2020 and 42.112 words in 2019).
Today I have had another writing day, the last this Spring, as I account for it (January to July). I proof-read my Norwegian language CCS article "Karbonfangst i lys av generasjonsrettferdighet", amongst other things (the article is to be published in September).
Total number of writing days this Spring is up to 49,5 (vs. 52 originally planned). In comparison, I had 54 writing days in Spring 2020. I have written a total of 25.819 words (compared with 45.161 words in Spring 2020).
For the autumn of 2021 (August to December), I am planning 37 writing days.
