In a fit of self-centeredness (okay, maybe I’m always in such a fit \ud83d\ude42 ) I decided to see if I’m a source or a sink on the arXiv<\/a> (or at least the arXiv as seen by Citebase<\/a>.) Below are a list of my papers (excluding my thesis) which I’ve posted on the archive along with citation numbers and reference numbers. Using this I can see whether I am a source or a sink on the graph of citations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

So what’s the verdict? Well, one, it is depressing to make this list on Monday. And two, I’m a source by 52 citations. That means I’ve generated like six citations per year over my career. If I include my thesis in the above table, I definitely become a sink. Apparently writing your thesis really is a waste of time \ud83d\ude09
