ADVERTISEMENTS

Is it just me, or do the scholarly citation rankings recently posted on Brian Leiter's blog cast others into despair?  Seriously, though, I'm taking the posting of the citation rankings as a  good opportunity to remind myself to focus on the aspects of my scholarship I can control.  I can recommit myself to do thorough, systematic research. I can devote serious thought to topics that fascinate me and try to make my writing reflect that thought.  I can edit my articles to within an inch of their lives.  After that, citations will either come or not as fate dictates.  At the end of the day, I'll still have one of the best jobs in the world, which should be enough for anyone.
