“If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.”*

An exceptionally high citation record is a mark of a researcher’s influence

Research papers that have been cited more than 2,000 times are rarities, representing a small proportion of overall publications. An exceptionally high citation record is a mark of a researcher’s community-wide influence. It is acknowledgement of their important foundational work, on which they and others are building further research.
