متن کاملRelative Citation Ratio (RCR): A New Metric That Uses Citation Rates to Measure Influence at the Article Level
Despite their recognized limitations, bibliometric assessments of scientific productivity have been widely adopted.

We find that the RCR correlates highly with established field-normalized indicators, but th...
