Bibliographic Overview |
|
At present, L.R. has published 66 research articles, mostly in leading journals (the average impact factor of all publications by L.R. is 4.4). L.R. is the first or corresponding (senior) author of 38 papers. 11 papers have been published in top-ranked journals, e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (5), Chem. Eur. J. (4), and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. (2), whereas recent contributions include one invited perspective (Dalton Trans. 2012) and one invited review (Coord. Chem. Rev. 2013). Noticeably, 41 papers have been published without a Ph.D or 'postdoc' supervisor among the authors. The work has been cited ~1,300 times (with ~950 independent citations, i.e. with all forms of self-citations excluded; source: ISI WoS, January 13, 2013). LR's H-index is 21 (the 'independent' H-index is 17). |
