Submit end of March, RFE begin of April. NSC.
The question is similar to some of recent RFE.
-----------------------------------------------
“Please submit additional document to establish how your employment for a private firm influences the field nationally.
Please submit copies of any published articles by other researchers citing or otherwise recognizing your research and/or contributions. “
---------------------------------------------------
My background is a recent graduate PhD working for a private firm. Most of my journal papers are published recently, except two journal and several proceedings papers are published in the second half of 2004. As my field is relatively diverse, it normally takes longer time to build up citations, as compared to other fields such as bioscience. To date, I have three papers cited my work. However, I was recently selected as a reviewer to review a submitted paper as it cited one of my recent papers intensively. Unfortunately, I could not disclose it as it is confidential. I also know a recent accepted paper cited this particular paper too, but I could not mention it because of the same reason.
Furthermore, my dissertation was sponsored by a government agency, and recently, this agency awarded a contract to several organizations mostly based on my work (among five references of the winning proposal, three are my papers) to transfer my technique to practical application. However, the winning proposal was not published because of proprietary information.
I heard that people show their papers are collected certain databases as an evidence of the significance of the work. Is it true or not?
Any suggestions on how to answer the RFE and how to use the information above are welcome.
