作者:
Highlights:
• The Mean Normalised Log-transformed Citation Score confidence interval formula is safe but, for large groups is conservative.
• Bootstrap Mean Normalised Log-transformed Citation Score confidence intervals can be unsafe for small sample sizes.
• Bootstrap Mean Normalised Citation Score confidence intervals can be unsafe for small sample sizes.
