Methods for the generation of normalized citation impact scores in bibliometrics: Which method best reflects the judgements of experts?
作者:
Highlights:
• Different methods have been proposed for producing normalized citation impact scores.
• Using a data set of over 50,000 records, the study tests which of the methods correlate better with the assessment of papers by peers.
• The study involves not only cited-side indicators, but also citing-side indicators.
• The correlations of the indicators with the peer assessments all turn out to be very similar.
• It is important that the results of this study are validated by other studies based on multi-disciplinary datasets.
