People with a scientific mindset are analytical, open-minded, flexible and have the capacity to answer questions. They are basically focused on what they do not know, and only exceptionally on what they do know.

Asking why is the root of a scientific mindset.

A scientific mindset accepts the truth as a credo.

In my opinion, the author-level metric can distort a real author's citation impact. For example, an author who has an h-index = 2 obtained on the basis of two published papers of which each is cited twenty times is more influential than an author who has an h-index = 3 obtained on the basis of three published papers of which each is cited three times.

Curiosity lies in a hidden corner of the scientific mind.

An idea occurs in the mind, where it is confined and useless. An idea lives when it leaves the mind.
