My head tells me bibliometrics are awful, my heart still beats faster when I get cited or my h-index increases ;-)
Or is it the other way around?
Anyway a paper I was third author on just got cited for the first time and I am bizarrely pleased. I think it is more that it has greater than zero citations now, makes it feel like there was some value to others… however illusory this may be.
On a related note one of my colleagues has *exactly* the same h-index as me, and precisely two more citations over the course of her career. The devil is in the detail though: her citation rate is much higher, and is growing, whereas I am last year’s man man.
