Suspected sock puppets/Robertomalancini

I am really upset with such accusation. Here are some points to be considered: 1. I use computers that are shared by many people. 2. Wikipedia should be much more careful with its articles. As claimed by "The Economist", Wikipedia articles are not reliable. 3. Many people can start an account at any time, so coincidences happen. 4. I HAVE NEVER COMMENTED ABOUT ANYBODY'S PUBLICATION RECORD. Please read it VERY careful. Anybody in the academic area knows that a good way to assert the quality of research of a certain individual is by:

a) Counting the number of publications of that individual b) Multiplying the number of publications of that individual by the number of citations after a certain period of time (say 2 years). See http://portal.isiknowledge.com. Of course, if you publish articles in Nature, chances are that you will be highly cited. c) Take a careful reading of the Journal of Citation reports. d) Patents demonstrate the degree of technological advancement of a country. Most publications do not lead to industrialized goods, hence patent is a much better measurement. People should read the information contained at http://portal.isiknowledge.com. Moreover, the number of patents is a truly indicator of the technological advancement of a certain country. In summary, to assess the technological advancement of a certain country: 1. You need to count all publications in separate areas: Biomedical sciences, natural sciences, social sciences, engineering. 2. Multiply the number of publications by the impact factor of each publication and divide by the population of that country. This will provide a much more reliable ranking of countries in terms of science. 3. To assess the ranking in technology, a simple ranking of the number of patents of that country divided by the number of people living there suffices. 4. IDH index and GNP per capita should be included when comparing different countries. These are academic and economic indices that are very common in the world. I am really amazed that people do not know these STANDARD CRITERIA.
