求助:
我是生物医学领域的博士后. 我在加州申请了NIW. 最近受到RFE有关Citation.我有大约9-10篇文章. 7个是第一作者.可是CITATION 很少. 申请的时候只有22个,这其中还有一半是我实验室自己引用的.其实我是不想提citation 的.可我的律师说要送. 现在的CITATION 多了一点, 总共大约有35个,但还是有一半是我实验室自己引用的.
以下是USCIS的RFE. 恳请大家热心肠,给我建议,如何回答这个问题.
In respective to the self-petitioner’s publication of scholarly articles, service determines here that, publication alone may serve as evidence of originality, but it is difficult to conclude that a published article is important or influential of there is little evidence that other researchers have relied upon the petitioner’s findings. Therefore, frequent citation by independent researchers would demonstrate more widespread interest, and reliance on the petitioner’s work, and that the petitioner’s work has attracted attention on its own merits as have existed whether or not this petition was filed. Provide evidence that the petitioner’s research achievements have already been relied upon and have already impacted the scientific community as a whole to a significant degree.
