For experienced researchers, the number of times a paper is cited sometimes matters more than actually publishing it. In addition, total numbers of citations are used to calculate metrics such as G- and H- index, which may be considered for academic promotions, thus driving senior authors to pursue self-citation. 22 Course Instructor : Prof.Dr.A.G.Srinivasan Addl.
