"Impact Indices"

William Swann, a well-known social psychologist at UT Austin, has a section on his CV listing "Impact Indices."  Here it is:

Impact Indices

In a 1995 poll, 35th of the 50 most cited psychologists in the world

In a 1999 poll, ranked 22nd most cited researcher in the ">Annual Review of Psychology

In a 2002 survey, one of the most cited contributors to the major Handbooks of Social Psychology

In a 2004 survey, among the top 30 most cited authors published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology

In a 2006 survey in >Dialogue, among the top 30 of most cited authors in Social Psychology textbooks.

Citation count: 5000+

I've run into this kind of listing before, this example is just one I came across recently.  It seems to be more common in the social and natural sciences.  Has anyone ever seen anything like this on a philosopher's CV?  Please post only once, comments may take longer than usual to appear as I have a busy week.

No, but here in the UK, if the Research Assessment Exercise is replaced by a system heavily dependent on 'metrics' such as these, we can expect precisely this sort of thing to appear!
