Counting Research Groups for Citation Assessment

Publication Counting vs Citation Counting in evaluating research

In a previous editorial,l I discussed the use of the Science Citation hufex~ in evaluating research. In this editorial, I am reprinting part of a letter which expressed my reaction to the use of publication counting--which underlies the whole publish-or-perish sYndrome-as a method of evaluating research. Some background may be necessary. In 1963, Hedge suggested that “publication of scientific ...

Beyond citation analysis: a model for assessment of research impact.

QUESTION Is there a means of assessing research impact beyond citation analysis? SETTING The case study took place at the Washington University School of Medicine Becker Medical Library. METHOD This case study analyzed the research study process to identify indicators beyond citation count that demonstrate research impact. MAIN RESULTS The authors discovered a number of indicators that ca...

COUNTING DISTINCT FUZZY SUBGROUPS OF SOME RANK-3 ABELIAN GROUPS

In this paper we classify fuzzy subgroups of a rank-3 abelian group $G = mathbb{Z}_{p^n} + mathbb{Z}_p + mathbb{Z}_p$ for any fixed prime $p$ and any positive integer $n$, using a natural equivalence relation given in cite{mur:01}. We present and prove explicit polynomial formulae for the number of (i) subgroups, (ii) maximal chains of subgroups, (iii) distinct fuzzy subgroups, (iv) non-isomorp...

Citation Clustering for Identifying Research Contribution

The h-index is an index that measures productivity and citation impact of the published work but it has been criticized because it does not consider context of citation and reason behind citation. This indicates that there is a need for an improved h-index by a new approach which includes important citations received by a paper instead of the whole list of citations. Citation classification is ...
