McCall's area transformation versus the integrated impact indicator (I3)
Sir: In a study entitled “Skewed Citation Distributions and Bias Factors: Solutions to two core problems with the journal impact factor,” Mutz & Daniel (2012) propose (i) McCall’s (1922) Area Transformation of the skewed citation distribution so that this data can be considered as normally distributed (Krus & Kennedy, 1977), and (ii) to control for different document types as a co-variate (Rubi...
متن کاملAn Integrated Impact Indicator (I3)
Allocation of research funding, as well as promotion and tenure decisions, are increasingly made using indicators and impact factors drawn from citations to published work. A debate among scientometricians about proper normalization of citation counts has resolved with the creation of an Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) that solves a number of problems found among previously used indicators. Th...
متن کاملPercentile Ranks and the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3)
In a brief communication to this journal, entitled “Basic Properties of Both Percentile Rank Scores and the I3 Indicator,” Rousseau (in press) proposed to define percentile classes in the case of the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) right-open so that the largest number in a set always belongs to the highest percentile. He argued that “this completely solves the issue raised by Leydesdorff & Bo...
متن کاملThe "Academic Trace" of the Performance Matrix: A Mathematical Synthesis of the h-Index and the Integrated Impact Indicator (I3)
The h-index provides us with nine natural classes which can be written as a matrix of three vectors. The three vectors are: X=(X1, X2, X3) indicate publication distribution in the h-core, the h-tail, and the uncited ones, respectively; Y=(Y1, Y2, Y3) denote the citation distribution of the hcore, the h-tail and the so-called “excess” citations (above the h-threshold), respectively; and Z=(Z1, Z...
متن کاملIntegrated Impact Indicators (I3) compared with Impact Factors (IFs): An alternative research design with policy implications
In bibliometrics, the association of “impact” with central-tendency statistics is mistaken. Impacts add up, and citation curves should therefore be integrated instead of averaged. For example, the journals MIS Quarterly and JASIST differ by a factor of two in terms of their respective impact factors (IF), but the journal with the lower IF has the higher impact. Using percentile ranks (e.g., top...
