Impact Factor

One my favorite researchers who I admire and respect a lot, one who replies to my emails at 11 pm and  excitement for research is contagious, tells this anecdote at many conferences and talks I've attended.

He has been doing research for about ten years.. and decided to check the impact of his first article he ever wrote almost a decade ago. He googles his article and he finds ONE citation. The one citation is by himself in another paper.

SO! I decided to google myself (I do this ALOT) and found out one of my papers has been cited! AND not only once but SEVEN times =) I'm not first author but I'm glad I'm part of research that other research is branching off or at least referencing!

That is my little update for now.
