Citation count distributions for large monodisciplinary journals
作者:
Highlights:
• The discretised lognormal fits better than the hooked power law for relatively pure citation distributions.
• The discretised lognormal fits better than the hooked power law for large monodisciplinary journals.
• Both the discretised lognormal and the hooked power law have imperfect shapes for citation distributions.
