Increase in the Hirsch Index

For many, if not everyone, it is important to see the results of their work, especially if much effort has been put into it. For scientists in various fields, this can be either the direct results of the research conducted or its publication in various scientific journals. However, writing a paper, even if it is based on existing data, only at first glance seems like a simple task. In fact, it is work, and not a small one. And the fact that the work will be printed in an authoritative, perhaps even foreign, journal is not enough. One would like to see a backlash, to know that the work done is really important and relevant. And if the goal was to introduce the results of the study to as many people as possible, the desirability of feedback from colleagues increases several times over.

For a career now it is useful to have a high citation index - in many scientific institutions it is taken into account.

And the presence in the organization of scientists with a large number of scientific articles and a high citation index is perceived as a kind of confirmation of status.
