Fig. 5. Citations to Alan Turing’s publications by year on Google Scholar [30]. Google Scholar also presents the number of citations per year for a given author. Citations to Turing’s work have grown exponentially over the years in general, with relatively few still at the time of the Hodges biography in 1983 [33] and far more by the time of his 2012 centenary (see Figure 5). There are now around six citations a day to Turing’s work in scientific publications around the world.
