Measuring delayed recognition for papers: Uneven weighted summation and total citations

作者：

Highlights：

• A simple solution for depicting delayed recognition of individual papers is proposed.

• The intrinsic relation between two independent indicators of citation delay and Gs index is based on the same logic of applying uneven weights to sum up yearly citations.

• The principles of delayed citation timelines and final citation numbers should both be considered in order to depict delayed recognition.

• The parameter a can be used to adjust the criterion for selecting delayed papers.
