作者:

Highlights:

• Offers an axiom-based approach to jointly valuing citation performance and journal prestige.

• Demonstrates the approach using a flexible function form with a simple and widely-used graphical interpretation.

• Demonstrates the approach with a simple empirical inquiry accessible for terminal users.

• Nests journal-only and citation-only focus as special cases.

• Builds upon prior bibliometric axiomatizations and offers several functional forms that may be attractive to different fields or users.
