Curiously, the one paper which was actually reviewed was in an IEEE journal and about filter design.

Most of the rest of my papers were in completely different disciplines.

It was an awesome paper -- in my mind, groundbreaking -- but I'm not convinced anyone beyond the reviewers ever read it. I see about a dozen citations which popped up years later, clicked through a few, and they were inane.

Problem is it was work in a very, very classical field, alongside Butterworth, Chebyshev, and similar, and while quite fundamental, and with many applications, there is no contemporary research there.

My most popular papers were mostly rather.... random.
