Finding scientific gems with Google's PageRank algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
We apply the Google PageRank algorithm to assess the relative importance of all publications in the Physical Review family of journals from 1893 to 2003. While the Google number and the number of citations for each publication are positively correlated, outliers from this linear relation identify some exceptional papers or “gems” that are universally familiar to physicists. © 2006 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Promise and pitfalls of extending Google's PageRank algorithm to citation networks.
The misuse of journal impact factor in hiring and promotion decisions is a growing concern. This article is one in a series of invited commentaries in which authors discuss this problem and consider alternative measures of an individual's impact. The number of citations is the most commonly used metric for quantifying the importance of scientific publications. However , we all have anecdotal ex...
متن کاملLeaders in Social Networks, the Delicious Case
Finding pertinent information is not limited to search engines. Online communities can amplify the influence of a small number of power users for the benefit of all other users. Users' information foraging in depth and breadth can be greatly enhanced by choosing suitable leaders. For instance in delicious.com, users subscribe to leaders' collection which lead to a deeper and wider reach not ach...
متن کاملUpdating Markov Chains with an Eye on Google's PageRank
An iterative algorithm based on aggregation/disaggregation principles is presented for updating the stationary distribution of a finite homogeneous irreducible Markov chain. The focus is on large-scale problems of the kind that are characterized by Google’s PageRank application, but the algorithm is shown to work well in general contexts. The algorithm is flexible in that it allows for changes ...
متن کاملWeb Graph Parameters and the Pagerank Distribution
Originally created for Web ranking, PageRank has become a major method for evaluating popularity of nodes in information networks. Besides its primary application in search engines, PageRank is successfully used for solving other important problems such as graph partitioning [3], spam detection [8], and finding gems in scientific citations [6], just to name a few. The PageRank [5] is defined as...
متن کاملThe Evaluation of the Team Performance of MLB Applying PageRank Algorithm
Background. There is a weakness that the win-loss ranking model in the MLB now is calculated based on the result of a win-loss game, so we assume that a ranking system considering the opponent’s team performance is necessary. Objectives. This study aims to suggest the PageRank algorithm to complement the problem with ranking calculated with winning ratio in calculating team ranking of US MLB. ...
