Scale-invariant citation indices
A number of citation indices have been proposed for measuring and ranking the research publication records of scholars. Some of the best known indices are designed to reward most highly those records x that strike some balance between impact I and productivity P ; a large number of publications with few citations per paper will not score well, nor will a very small number of heavily cited paper...
متن کاملCitation indices and dimensional homogeneity
The importance of dimensional analysis and dimensional homogeneity in bibliometric studies is always overlooked. In this paper, we look at this issue systematically and show that most h-type indices have the dimensions of [P], where [P] is the basic dimensional unit in bibliometrics which is the unit publication or paper. The newly introduced Euclidean index, based on the Euclidean length of th...
متن کاملManipulating Citation Indices in a Social Context
The h-index [6] is a popular measure of a researcher’s publication activity: a researcher’s h-index is the largest number x such that she has at least x papers that have received at least x citations each. It has been observed that one can manipulate her h-index by strategically merging one or more articles, and the complexity of finding a successful/optimal manipulation has been investigated f...
متن کاملAnnual Journal citation indices: a comparative study
We study the statistics of citations made to the indexed Science journals in the Journal Citation Reports during the period 2004-2013 using different measures. We consider different measures which quantify the impact of the journals. To our surprise, we find that the apparently uncorrelated measures, even when defined in an arbitrary manner, show strong correlations. This is checked over all th...
متن کاملStrengths and weaknesses of citation indices and impact factors
According to Eugene Garfield2, who had the remarkable ability to make a very lucrative business out of recording citations, the idea that citations are the currency through which scientists pay other scientists goes back to the Sociologist of Science Robert K. Merton, who expressed this opinion in a private conversation with Garfield, in 1962. In Garfield’s words, “the Mertonian description of ...
