As of 2nd April 2024, I have been cited 1232 times in the academic literature, according to Academia.edu. I checked with Perplexity.ai about the significance or otherwise of this number of citations and it said this:
The key points from the search results are:
Based on the search results provided, 1231 citations for academic psychology papers written 25 years ago would be considered an exceptionally high and impressive number of citations.
Most academic papers only receive a small number of citations, with 44% of papers never being cited at all[3]. Only the top 1.8% of papers receive 100 or more citations[3]
Having 5 papers, each with over 100 citations, is considered very impressive and competitive for a faculty position in many fields[1].
So 1231 citations for psychology papers written 25 years ago would put those papers in the top 1-2% most cited in the field[3]. This is an extraordinarily high citation count, especially for papers that are 25 years old. It indicates the research had a major and lasting impact on the field of psychology[1][2][3].
In summary, 1231 citations for 25-year-old academic psychology papers is an outstanding and highly impressive citation count that demonstrates the significant influence and impact of that research[1][2][3].

Curious as to whether these 1,200+ name checks were in fact for me, I paid for membership of Academia.edu and began examining the entries with my name. After 100 citations, I stopped from sheer boredom but noted that out of the 100 mentions of my name thus far, only 8 were for papers I didn’t write or co-write. That’s pretty good, I reckon.
