New perspectives in bibliometric indicators: Moving from citations to citing authors

作者：

Highlights：

• Definition of a bibliometric indicator based on the number of citing authors: ca-index(r).

• Innovative application on data coming from MathSciNet database restricted to Pure Mathematics.

• Testing of the indicator at aggregated data level.

• Applying the indicator to evaluate single researchers’ performances in comparison with other usual bibliometric indexes.
