A stochastic approach to the relation between the impact factor and the uncitedness factor

作者：

Highlights：

• We give a closed form relation between IF and UF involving a model parameter.

• The relation is time-dependent.

• A theoretical van Leeuwen–Moed lower bound is established.

• The form of the van Leeuwen–Moed diagram is explained.
