物理学论文引文的重新标度

Rescaling citations of publications in physics

Filippo Radicchi, Claudio Castellano

摘要:

我们分析了1985年至2009年间发表在《物理评论》期刊上的所有论文的引文分布。计算给定年份和给定领域发表的论文的平均引用次数。发现大的变化,这表明它是不公平的,跨领域和跨年的引文数量进行比较。然而,当使用平均值的重新缩放程序时,可以公平地比较不同年份和领域的文章。我们提供了可供读者使用的重标度因子。我们还表明,出版作者的数量重新调整引用数量有很强的影响,因此,在评估研究人员的文献计量学性能时,应考虑到。

英文摘要:

We analyze the citation distributions of all papers published in Physical Review journals between 1985 and 2009. The average number of citations received by papers published in a given year and in a given field is computed. Large variations are found, showing that it is not fair to compare citation numbers across fields and years. However, when a rescaling procedure by the average is used, it is possible to compare impartially articles across years and fields. We make the rescaling factors available for use by the readers. We also show that rescaling citation numbers by the number of publication authors has strong effects and should therefore be taken into account when assessing the bibliometric performance of researchers.
