Fairer citation-based metrics
I describe a simple modification which can be applied to any citation count-based index (e.g. Hirsch’s h-index) quantifying a researcher’s publication output. The key idea behind the proposed approach is that the merit for the citations of a paper should be distributed amongst its authors according to their relative contributions. In addition to producing inherently fairer metrics I show that t...
متن کاملExploring and Understanding citation-Based Scientific Metrics
This paper explores citation-based metrics, how they differ in ranking papers and authors, and why. We initially take as example three main metrics that we believe significant; the standard citation count, the more and more popular h-index, and a variation we propose of PageRank applied to papers (called PaperRank), that is appealing as it mirrors proven and successful algorithms for ranking we...
متن کاملA science metrics based citation for tagging the biomedical researchers
What is in a scientist name? Which indexes can a scientist's bibliographic citation summarizes? In the several branches of science, some names are truly iconic, and their mention has the power to synthesize a whole life of ideas and revolutionary work. That is the case for Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, and Francis Crick to cite a few. And what about the average or normal scientist in the Tho...
متن کاملExploring and Understanding Scientific Metrics in Citation Networks
This paper explores scientific metrics in citation networks in scientific communities, how they differ in ranking papers and authors, and why. In particular we focus on network effects in scientific metrics and explore their meaning and impact. We initially take as example three main metrics that we believe significant; the standard citation count, the more and more popular hindex, and a variat...
متن کاملCitation Metrics: A Primer on How (Not) to Normalize
Citation metrics are increasingly used to appraise published research. One challenge is whether and how to normalize these metrics to account for differences across scientific fields, age (year of publication), type of document, database coverage, and other factors. We discuss the pros and cons for normalizations using different approaches. Additional challenges emerge when citation metrics nee...
