How to improve the outcome of performance evaluations in terms of percentiles for citation frequencies of my papers
作者:
Highlights:
• For a given number of citations, the evaluation of the performance in terms of percentiles can depend strongly on the subject category.
• The proper choice of the journal for a manuscript thus influences the outcome of the evaluation.
• This effect is particularly strong for journals from different fields, but also from different subject categories in the same field.
• These observations are exemplified by an empirical investigation for 5 of my own publications.
