Referee opinions versus subsequent citations: a little subjective data
I recently found a paper file of referee reports, reviews etc written by myself in 1992-5.
Below is data relating "enthusiasm of my report", on a scale of 1 (poor) to
2 (average published paper) to 3 (excellent),
and this is compared to number of Google Scholar citations of the paper (checked in 2007).
