On the behavior of journal impact factor rank-order distribution
An empirical law for the rank-order behavior of journal impact factors is found. Using an extensive data base on impact factors includ-have found extremely good fittings outperforming other rank-order models. Based in our results we propose a two-exponent Lotkaian Informetrics. Some extensions to other areas of knowledge are discussed.
متن کاملThe "impact factor" revisited
The number of scientific journals has become so large that individuals, institutions and institutional libraries cannot completely store their physical content. In order to prioritize the choice of quality information sources, librarians and scientists are in need of reliable decision aids. The "impact factor" (IF) is the most commonly used assessment aid for deciding which journals should rece...
متن کاملRank Conjecture Revisited
The rank conjecture says that rank of an elliptic curve is one less the arithmetic complexity of the corresponding non-commutative torus. We prove the conjecture for elliptic curves E(K) over a number field K. As a corollary, one gets a simple estimate for the rank in terms of the length of period of a continued fraction attached to the E(K). As an illustration, we consider a family of elliptic...
متن کاملEmpirical modeling of the impact factor distribution
The distribution of impact factors has been modeled in the recent informetric literature using twoexponent law proposed by Mansilla et al. (2007). This paper shows that two distributions widelyused in economics, namely the Dagum and Singh-Maddala models, possess several advantages over the two-exponent model. Compared to the latter, the former give as good as or slightly better fit to data on i...
