Solving the cold-start problem in scientific credit allocation
作者:
Highlights:
• We introduce an algorithm that can allocate credit to authors in newly published papers.
• We validate the method by identifying the laureates of Nobel-winning papers.
• Our method has a significantly higher accuracy and robustness than existing algorithms for papers with few citations.
• We test the agreed-on rule on authorship and contribution and find distinguishable relation in past and recent publications in physics.
