Compressing multiple scales of impact detection by Reference Publication Year Spectroscopy

作者：

Highlights：

• RPYS provides a citation-based technique for exploring historically important papers for a given research field.

• Up until this point, there has been no standard procedure for comparing results across multiple RPYS analyses.

• We present a method allowing researchers to analyze and visualize the results of multiple RPYS procedures simultaneously.
