Relative 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 describe here an improved method to quantify the influence of a research article by making novel use of its co-citation network to field-normalize the number of citations it has received. Article citation rates are divided by an expected citation rate that is derived from perfo...

متن کاملRelative Citation Ratio (RCR): An empirical attempt to study a new field-normalized bibliometric indicator
Hutchins, Yuan, M., and Santangelo (2015) proposed the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) as a new field-normalized impact indicator. This study investigates the RCR by correlating it on the level of single publications with established field-normalized indicators and assessments of the publications by peers. We find that the RCR correlates highly with established field-normalized indicators, but th...
متن کاملA critical evaluation of the algorithm behind the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR)
The influence of scientific publications is increasingly assessed using quantitative approaches, but most available metrics have limitations that hamper their utility [1]. Hutchins and colleagues recently proposed the Relative Citation Ratio (RCR) [2], which compares the citation rate of an article against the citation rate that is expected for its field. The metric is an attractive and intuiti...
متن کاملFrom Citation count to Argumentation count: a new metric to indicate the usefulness of an article
Citation count is a quantifiable measure to indicate the number of times an article is cited by other articles. It is believed that if an article is cited often then it must be an important or influential article; however, there is no guarantee that the most cited articles are good in quality. In this paper, the author suggests “argumentation count”, a new metric for citation analysis. The prop...
