It is based on the idea of evaluating the citations c of a unit or group in relation to a predefined, subject-related reference group.
In this study we have defined our measure of journal quality in terms of non-citation by evaluating the non-citation of one year's literature (2001) from publication to present day, due to the practicalities of the data retrieval.
Objectives To examine indexed health science journals to evaluate the prevalence of Wikipedia citations, identify the journals that publish articles with Wikipedia citations, and determine how Wikipedia is being cited.
We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Wikipedia citations in indexed health science journals, identify the health science journals that publish articles with Wikipedia citations, and determine how Wikipedia is being cited.
In the present study we first aimed to evaluate the influence of self-citations on the 2007 IF for 18 major orthopaedic journals, including sub-specialist journals.
The h-index has already been used by major citation databases to evaluate the academic performance of individual scientists.
Initial records of data use and citation provide the means to evaluate the efficacy of this repository in disseminating data throughout a broader community – 89 citations of data packages found in 52 articles have been documented to date.
Here, we used citation rates as a measure of impact to evaluate the significance of publications.
Multivariate linear regression was used to evaluate the association between the public availability of a trial's microarray data and number of citations (after log transformation) it received.
Although citation-based scientometrics are often overestimated, they still represent the most common and validated way to evaluate the scientific quality of a journal's production.
