If only one publishing model was available, would you choose traditional (free to publish and reader pays to read) or open access (author pays and article can be read by anybody)?

and he now has 5,194,409 citations, and an h-index of 1,835 (second image).

In 39 days his citations have increased by 1,069,301 and his h-index has increased by 159.

I would love to know how he is manipulating his account (as he obviously is).

Just like this photograph I took in Ipoh. The umbrellas are great, but I like the shadows they cast.

Always good to see my h-index click over to a new (higher) value. Whenver that happens I can never resist looking at the papers that are around my h-index just to see what needs to happen to click over again. #NeverSatisfied 😂

I am not saying that there is anything is wrong but is this is a common profile for a PhD student? It would be unusual in my own discipline, but I realise that every discipline is different.

I was sent a Google Scholar profile via a DM (so I'll respect the privacy). This person has published 42 articles (according to Google Scholar) and 40 articles (according to Scopus).

The main part of the graphic shows the number of authors on each of the 40 Scopus indexed articles.

Can AI's Intelligence Be Measured Like Human IQ?

AI leaders predict AGI soon, but how close are we really to AI that thinks like us? The challenges of testing machine intelligence make it hard to say.

I am not saying that there is anything is wrong but it is quite an unusual profile and I'd welcome views for others who work in the same domain/discipline. Many of the articles are published in the @TheLancet (and associated journals), if that helps with the discipline.

Was sent this Google Scholar profile via a DM (so I'll respect the privacy). This person has published 42 articles, most in 2024 and 2025, and 3 in 2023, and they have an h-index of 25.
