Problems and challenges of information resources producers’ clustering

作者:

Highlights:

• Metrics on the space of vectors of unequal lengths is introduced.

• Such vectors may represent data produced by informetric resources producers.

• For example, this include citations to scholarly papers written by scientists.

• Hierarchical clustering methods are applied to partition input data.

• Clusters are homogeneous with respect to quality and quantity of products.
