A Non-informetric Explanation of the Relation between the Journal Mean Citation Age and Its Number of Articles
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A problem, raised by Wallace (JASIS, 37, 136-145, 1986), on the relation between the journal's median citation age and its number of articles is studied. Leaving open the problem as such, we give a statistical explanation of this relationship, when replacing "median" by "mean" in Wallace's problem. The cloud of points, found by Wallace, is explained in this sense that the points are scattered over the area in first quadrant, limited by a curve of the form ' Permanent address.
