Technical Publications

James Patton Jones has contributed to numerous technical publications (books, journal articles, etc.) as either editor, author, or co-author.

When researchers write papers, they reference their sources and the published papers upon which they are building their research. An individual researcher's impact within the scientific community can be measured by the number of times their papers are "cited" by other researchers. ResearchGate.net tracks publication of technical scientific papers and citations to those papers, and is currently reporting the following statistics for publications by James Patton Jones:
Papers Cited: 16
Number of Citations: 485
