In an era in which academic institutions are held more accountable, a problem, which does not seem to have an immediate resolution, exists: how does one demonstrate the quality of one's work? Specifically, how does one show that his or her research is making an impact and is thought to be important? A variety of measures of scientific journal article importance, reflected mostly by citation analyses, have been focused on as being potential gold standards. However, although several measures have been reported, keeping a record of citation of individual research papers, primarily due to the effort involved in finding accurate information, is not for wimps.
在一个学术机构被要求承担更多责任的时代，存在着一个似乎没有立即解决办法的问题：如何证明自己工作的质量？具体而言，如何表明自己的研究正在产生影响并且被认为是重要的？各种衡量科学期刊文章重要性的指标，主要通过引文分析来反映，已被视为潜在的黄金标准。然而，尽管已经报道了几种指标，但记录个人研究论文的引用情况，主要是因为获取准确信息需要付出努力，这可不是胆小者能做到的。
