Total number of my publications from 1988 to 2012 is 84 with 5,637 citations, including 884 after 2010 according to the SCOPUS citation database survey carried out on March 9, 2012. Among 45 high-impact publications, 33 have been cited more than 30 times and additional 12 publications have been cited more than 20 times. The majority of studies among the high-impact publications have been carried out independent of PhD and post-doctoral advisers. The study on HIV RT for the paper with the highest citation (1,124 citations) was carried out in the laboratory of Professor Steitz, and the study on E. coli ClpP for the paper with the second highest citation (327 citations) was carried out in my own laboratory.
