Two large scale models of the scientific literature, one based on direct citation, and the other based on co-citation, are combined to nominate emerging topics using a difference function that rewards clusters that are new and growing rapidly.
Journal Citation Reports (JCR, Web of Science): provides metrics individual journals based on citation data for: total citations, impact factor, Eigenfactor scores, and various other indicators.
An alternative data source for disease-associated genes sets was also used, based on citations and co-citations of disease and gene terms in the literature, as collected by PubGene [ 28].
Create a Google Scholar Citations Profile: Google scholar citations allows authors to track citations to their scholarly works and to calculate numerous citation metrics based on Google Scholar citation data.
Thomson Reuters have made their annual choice of citation laureates—"researchers likely to be in contention for Nobel honours based on the citation impact of their published research".
Moreover, when journal rankings are based on journal citation scores, the number of citations that a journal receives in other periodicals is a very indirect indicator of the quality of an article in that same periodical.
We achieved our goal by disambiguating author names based on the citation graph, which is the main feature of WoS.
Whereas these three approaches attempt to predict success based on past citation dynamics, they do not investigate the underlying mechanisms that lead to citation success.
The Institute for Scientific Information in Philadelphia ranks institutions based on "relative citation impact," calculated by taking the average number of citations per paper for a university over 5 years and comparing it to the world average in the same field.
Based on the citation data, we furthermore calculate the number of citations c p paper p gained within a time frame of five years after publication, i.e. in the time slice [ t, t + 5 ].
The increase will net about $21,000 annually, based on 2009 citation records.
