I asked this question in other threads, no reply so thought to have a new one for it:

When providing citations record for NIW/EB1A, is it better to exclude self citations? Does the USCIS care? Or just give all citations no matter what?

Thanks for clarificaiton.

I mentioned both saying my papers got a total citations of ~250 and 211 of them were by other independent research groups.
 
Thanks for the info. Man, 250 is quiet impressive! I got only ~21 with 9 self and ~12 others. Excluding Google scholar, do you know of any other site providing citation
information? Please let me know their links. Thanks.

I am in the chemistry field. I used SciFinder and Webof science to find my citations. You can try those.
Good luck.
 
For Eb2-NIW
Do you need to state how many citation for each paper you published.
Is the total number of citations of your publications enough?
How do you present these citations in an Eb2-niw?
THanks
 
hnks:

There is a different thread on citation format.

I put a section on my resume dedicated to citations. See my related post in the other thread.

Try to get as many citations as possible. Self citations if identified by USCIS will go against you. So try to only use independent citations. If you share a paper with someone and that person cites your paper that is also technically not a good citation. You may include such to beef up your numbers, but don't just have such citations only. Get a lot of independent citations. I would agree 20 or less for a paper will be on the lower side if you are claiming that your paper was the greatest in your field and thus you are a talented scientist.
