Bibliographic overview |
|
~100 research articles, mostly in leading international journals. LR is the first or corresponding (senior) author of more than 50 papers. 20 papers have been published in top-ranked journals, e.g. J. Am. Chem. Soc. (7), Chem. Eur. J. (9), Chem. Sci. (1), and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. (3), whereas recent contributions include one invited perspective (Dalton Trans. 2012) and two invited reviews (Coord. Chem. Rev. 2013, J. Biol. Inorg. Chem. 2016). The work has been cited ~2 750 times (with ~2 070 independent citations, i.e. with all forms of self-citations excluded; source: ISI WoS Core Collection, August 30, 2018). LR’s H-index is 32 (the ‘independent’ H-index is 25). |
