Publications and Presentations

I keep an up-to-date list of all of my publications (since 1993) and presentations (2009--now) and (2009--2001) .

Externally maintained publication lists:

• Some services compute an h-index for researchers. Here are my h-index values as of April 19, 2012:
  • 24 -- Google Scholar
  • 18 -- Microsoft Academic Search (a few false positives)
  • 17 -- Arnetminer (a few false negatives)
  • 11 -- Scopus (gets my identity correct, but does not index tech reports and the like)

• Others do not:
  • DBLP (early false positives, false negatives)
  • CiteSeer (false positives, false negatives)
  • ACM Digital Library (conflates me with one or more different Michael Nelsons)
  • Scientific Commons (few false positives, noisy metadata)

I have an Erdös Number of 4 (S. Moran -> W. R. Franta -> K. Maly -> M. L. Nelson).

Counting TV appearances, I have a Bacon Number of 3 (via Seamus O'Regan on Canada AM).

This gives me a combined Erdös-Bacon number of 7, which puts me in good company.
