I checked with Perplexity.ai about the significance or otherwise of this number of citations, and it said this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the search results provided, 1874 citations for academic psychology papers written 25 years ago would be considered an exceptionally high and impressive number of citations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having 5 papers, each with over 100 citations, is considered very impressive and competitive for a faculty position in many fields[1].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In summary, 1231 citations for 25-year-old academic psychology papers is an outstanding and highly impressive citation count that demonstrates the&nbsp;<strong>significant influence and impact of that research<\/strong>[1][2][3].<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curious whether these 1,200+ name checks were in fact for me, I paid for membership of&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/academia.edu\/\">Academia.edu<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;and began examining the entries with my name. After 100 citations, I stopped out of sheer boredom but noted that of the 100 mentions of my name thus far, only 8 were for papers I didn\u2019t write or co-write. That\u2019s pretty good, I reckon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Citations:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[1] https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/journal\/17446570<br>[2] https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/2580444<br>[3] https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/353982763_Public_Psychology_Introduction_to_the_Special_Issue<br>[4] https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4552909\/<br>[5] https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8095671\/Perplexity.ai<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><strong>Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Millward, L.
