Why do you think your paper is highly cited?
 This paper reviews changes to a testing methodology we developed in the early 1990s and first published in 1992 in an article entitled: "An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic-modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments" in the
Journal of Materials Research 7 (6): 1564-1583, JUN 1992. The methodology has since become widely adopted; in fact, the 1992 paper now has 2,282 citations. The new paper addresses changes to the methodology we have made over the last decade. Thus, the new paper is...
