Comments to List of Publications (LoP), H-Index and Citation Index Study by Web of Knowledge (WoK)

• All these indexes – Publication List, Citation Index, H-Index, etc. – are all silly. Even without comparing to other people, my own work is erroneously evaluated. Scientifically my best contribution is probably the metal transistor (WoK-6: Advanced Materials vol. 20, p. 2120, yr. 2008), yet, one of the least cited (one time only), even if it possibly can revolutionize industry (The End of Semiconductors!). Or the paper that closed a decade-standing discussion on the origin of the most common center in III-V semiconductors, the anti-site (WoK-41: Phys. Rev. B vol. 57, p. R4214, yr 1998). Obviously, after closing the discussion, nobody enters the field anymore and no citations are accumulated (2 in total). The most cited work is the one on threshold voltage shifts (WoK-27: Applied Physics Letters vol. 84, p. 3184, yr. 2004), yet it is a press-the-buttons, messageless, summary-of-measurements publication and is up to now cited already 93 times. That is the result of our Facebook “Like” culture. Social networks instead of scientific culture. Publish half-finished work, hoping that somebody will add some %'s and publish again.
  As I always say: "Imagine, how would Einstein do in modern times?!"
  

• In the Web-of-Knowledge summary it is clearly visible that my citations are dropping in the last years. That is because most effort was spent on writing three books: 1) Electrical Characterization of Organic Electronic Materials and Devices, Wiley 2009, 2) De Mythe Van Klimaatsveranderingen, Lulu 2010 and 3) Electronic Instrumentation (work in progress, probably Wiley). These are not 'citeable' items and do not enter the H-index. Yet, worth to mention that several hundreds of copies of the first book have been sold up to date.

• The most prestigious work is the one that ended in Nature Photonics (Impact Factor 25; Nature Photonics vol. 2, p. 105, yr. 2008). Worth to mention that I was not a mere co-author, catching the train during a sabbatical visit to The University of Amsterdam (UvA). I was the author of the work (up to the last version, which was submitted by the research group leader of UvA in my physical absence) and main analyzer. The research idea is theirs, however (for that I cannot claim credit). It reaches a high citation index because of the relevancy to Renewable Energies.
  The work received a lot of national and international attention because it addresses a society-relevant issue. Interviews on national TV (TVI, Edição da Noite) and various interviews for journals, newspapers and radio stations.
  

• The metal transistor was also mentioned in a Research Highlight in Nature Asia Materials (6 August 2008), adding to the prestige of being published in a high-impact-factor journal, Advanced Materials (I.F. then 9.1). This was also reason for a interviews on TV (TVI), various radio stations and paper media. This because it is not a mere change of material (for the active layer, or for the insulator, such as the paper transistor which receives quite a lot of attention in Portugal), but it is the incubation of a totally new technology, namely electronics without semiconductors.
  

• The most society-relevant result, however, was the publication of the book "De Mythe van Klimaatsveranderingen" (Lulu, 2010) which was the result of decades of independent research on climate and climate changes, completely independent of any financial sources and as such one of the few unbiased works on the subject existing in the world. The conclusion of the research is that there are no man-made climate changes and fanatically presisting in the religious beliefs will cause billions of people to suffer in the world. Of course, this is of extreme relevance to society. In no modern science parameter (and modern-science parameter), however, this relevance or importance is represented.
  

Thus I arrive at the following conclusions:
