Google Scholar: 1251 citations by year-end; 180 in 2024

On the last day of 2024, according to my Google scholar profile, my research has attracted 1251 citations (+3 since December 17th). This includes 180 citations in 2024 (+3 since December 17th). My h-index remains 20 and my i10-index 38. 136 texts are listed on my profile.

As of today, my best years in terms of citations are:

#1 2022 (189)

#2 2024 (180)

#3 2023 (171)

#4 2021 (149)

#5 2016 (92)

#6 2020 (90)

However, it has happened that these numbers have changed early in the next year. By year-end 2022, for instance, 2021 was registered with 184 citations, while some of these were later moved to 2022.

Unfortunately Google Scholars does not count the citations of my 2023 article "Wasted GDP in the USA", which has 2 citations according to Springer Nature/CrossRef and 7 citations according to ResearchGate.

Summing up the work year 2022

In 2022, I logged 2.763 work hours. This is 53 hours a week (all year, including in holiday weeks). At 163,6% of a standard Norwegian work year, this is considerably longer than the average employee´s work week. And yet it was my second shortest work year in terms of work hours over the last 10 years, due to health issues (which resulted in about a month´s sick leave altogether in the autumn). However, in 2013, my first year as a father, I had a somewhat shorter work year (2.650 work hours). In 2020, as an effect of the covid pandemic and a month´s sick leave related to surgery, my work year amounted to some 2.790 work hours. My longest work year ever was 3.231 work hours (2011).

2022 stands out with a few records of different sorts: Highest share ever for academic work (vs. literary and other work), lowest share ever for "other work".
