#2I find it ironic that this is about citations and it costs $36 just to read. So if you wanted to cite this and somebody wanted to verify they would have to spend another $36.

#7The research community really should do a better job of engaging with the wider world, irrespective of whether it increases citations. For example, I had this paper in Hotnets 2019, and about 80 people saw my presentation. But I also spent some time, turned it into a little video and put it on YouTube. 360,000 people have seen it there. Now the subtleties were probably lost on many of those people, but if only a few of those people got something out of it, then it will likely have had more impact than the original paper.

This reminds me of a story from Steven Levitt.
He published Freakonomics together with Stephen Dubner then went back into academia while Dubner went down the podcaster route.
15 years later, Dubner has reached millions of people with his work and Levitt recently started a podcast and soft quit academia after realizing that one of his best papers after years of research and hard work got 3 citations. He assumes fewer than 20 people will ever read that work.

Same with MOOCs I think. It's too bad most of them are so bad they are not worth taking, but the ones that are good (e.g. Andrew Ng's machine learning MOOC) are having insane impact even though most people don't finish them.
