According to Google Scholar (see my profile) my research has now attracted 517 citations (+5 since November 27th). 65 of these are from 2020 (+4 since November 27th), which means I right now have just as many citations in 2020 as I had in 2019. I had more in 2016 (93) and 2018 (72).
My i10-index remains 20 and my h-index 13.
