Confidence intervals for normalised citation counts: Can they delimit underlying research capability?

作者：

Highlights：

• Confidence intervals for field normalised MNLCS have an appropriate level of agreement with subsequent values.

• MNLCS confidence intervals give reasonable estimates of underlying research capability.

• Confidence intervals for field normalised indicators can help decide whether indicator differences are important.
