A New Method for Evaluating Author’s Scientific Impact by using an Eigenfactor Derived Scoring System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Purpose: This paper aims to propose a new method of quantifying the scientific impact based on the Eigenfactor. Materials and Methods: We propose four scores, all based on a common parameter, called Emp: (1) article median score (AEmp) computed by summing the Emps for all articles published by a researcher, (2) AEmp Main, which only includes the articles published as a main author by a specific researcher, (3) article weighted median score (BEmp), which is obtained by summing the Emp values of the journals in which the author has published, divided by the number of authors, and (4) citation weighted median score (CEmp), calculated by summing the Emp values of the journals in which the articles of the researcher were cited. We give t two calculation examples, for the Medicine, Legal, and Anatomy & Morphology ISI categories.

The Eigenfactor Metrics provide an alternative way of evaluating scholarly journals based on an iterative ranking procedure analogous to Google’s PageRank algorithm. These metrics have recently been adopted by Thomson-Reuters and are listed alongside the Impact Factor in the Journal Citation Reports. But do these metrics differ sufficiently so as to be a useful addition to the bibliometric tool...
متن کاملAuthor-level Eigenfactor metrics: Evaluating the influence of authors, institutions, and countries within the social science research network community
In this article, we show how the Eigenfactor score, originally designed for ranking scholarly journals, can be adapted to rank the scholarly output of authors, institutions, and countries based on author-level citation data. Using the methods described in this article, we provide Eigenfactor rankings for 84,808 disambiguated authors of 240,804 papers in the Social Science Research Network (SSRN...
