Is the new citation-rank approach P100′ in bibliometrics really new?
نویسنده
چکیده
The percentile-based rating scale P100 describes the citation impact in terms of the distribution of unique citation values. This approach has recently been refined by considering also the frequency of papers with the same citation counts. Here I compare the resulting P100’ with P100 for an empirical dataset and a simple fictitious model dataset. It is shown that P100’ is not much different from standard percentile-based ratings in terms of citation frequencies. A new indicator P100” is introduced.

From P100 to P100_: Conception and improvement of a new citation-rank approach in bibliometrics
Properties of a percentile-based rating scale needed in bibliometrics are formulated. Based on these properties, P100 was recently introduced as a new citation-rank approach (Bornmann, Leydesdorff,&Wang, in press). In this paper, we conceptualize P100 and propose an improvement which we call P100_. Advantages and disadvantages of citation-rank indicators are noted.
متن کاملExamples for counterintuitive behavior of the new citation-rank indicator P100 for bibliometric evaluations
A new percentile-based rating scale P100 has recently been proposed to describe the citation impact in terms of the distribution of the unique citation values. Here I investigate P100 for 5 example datasets, two simple fictitious models and three larger empirical samples. Counterintuitive behavior is demonstrated in the model datasets, pointing to difficulties when the evolution with time of th...

متن کاملA Comparison of the REMBRANDT System with a New Approach in AHP
Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. While in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. Our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...
متن کاملDetection of Implicit Citations for Sentiment Detection
Sentiment analysis of citations in scientific papers is a new and interesting problem which can open up many exciting new applications in bibliometrics. Current research assumes that using just the citation sentence is enough for detecting sentiment. In this paper, we show that this approach misses much of the existing sentiment. We present a new corpus in which all mentions of a cited paper ha...
