My Google Scholar profile page

This is my profile page in Google Scholar - which is verified and public. By following this link you can later click to follow my articles or citations of my articles, and of course get an overview of quite a few of my academic publications. 

According to Google Scholar's count, as of today my publications have been cited 38 times (including 32 times since 2008) - this includes references to my own work. This results in a h-index of 4 (meaning that 4 of my articles have been cited at least 4 times each) and an i10-index of 1 (meaning that 1 of my papers have been cited at least 10 times).
** Google Scholar's citations count overlaps with, but is quite different from my private count, which envelops about 34 citations/mentions to date by others.

Below: Google Scholar's graph showing number of citations per year.

Google Scholar: 135 citations; 10 articles cited 5+ times

According to my profile at Google Scholar, I now have 135 citations, whereof 113 since 2011. This is up 8 the last couple of months, and up 30 since February. I now have more citations in 2016 so far than in 2011 (23 vs. 21). "Umwelt ethics" is leading the pack with 27 citations, including 3 from this year. 10 of my articles have been cited at least 5 times, on Google´s count (including self-citations).

The figure below shows the number of citations by year in Google Scholar, with 2015 representing a peak so far with 36 citations.

The third article to reach 10 citations, after "Umwelt ethics" (2003, now 20) and "Umwelt transitions: Uexküll and environmental change" (2009, now 16), was "Steps to a semiotics of being" (2010).
