The influence of time and discipline on the magnitude of correlations between citation counts and quality scores
作者：
Highlights：
• The strength of the correlation measured between citation counts and research quality metrics decreases substantially with variable citation windows.
• The strength of the correlation measured between citation counts and research quality metrics decreases substantially for sets of articles from different fields.
• The strength of the correlation measured between citation counts and research quality metrics is only accurate for homogeneous sets of articles.
