With regards to the local citations score, Murray CJL had the highest local citations score of 248, followed by Frenk J, McKee M, and Piette JD.
The top 10 journals had published 2,969 (10.31%) articles and received 5,229 local citations and 40,271 global citations.
These top 10, or 0.27% out of the 3,674 journals, had published 2,969 or 10.31% of the total 28,787 articles and received 5,229 local citations and 40,271 global citations.
The methodology adopted allows a large range of variation of the neighborhood, reflecting the local citation network, and partly alleviates the "cross-scale" normalization issue.
The local citation score (LCS) reflects the number of citations to a sample paper from within the collected sample, while the local cited references score (LCR) shows the number of citations in a sample article's reference list to other articles within the sample.
The total local citation score (TLCS) and the total global citation score (TGCS) were also calculated in this paper.
TLCS, Total local citation score, which is the number of times cited by other papers in the local collection; TGCS, Total global citation score, which is the citation frequency based on the full WoS count at the time the data was downloaded; AGCS, Average citation frequency of an article.
TLCS/t is the total local citation score per year from the time the research papers' publication to the end of the sample period, and TGCS/t is the total global citation score per year from the research papers' publication to the end of the sample period [ 29].
MiSearch is implemented in two components, a PHP script running on an Apache web server that generates forms, dispatches search requests to NCBI Entrez and communicates with a local citation datbase, and a relational database server that stores both the PubMed corpus and user search histories.
Recs, Number of articles; %, Percentage of articles; TLCS, Total local citation score, which is the number of times cited by other papers in the local collection; TLC S/t Average value of TLCS in a year; TGCS, Total global citation score, which is the citation frequency based on the full WoS count at the time the data was downloaded; TGCS/t, Average value of TGCS in a year.
3. Regional databases indexing citations from local journals not reaching MEDLINE are especially relevant for this type of systematic review.
