Does the H index have predictive power
TL;DR: The findings indicate that the h index is better than other indicators considered (total citation count, citations per paper, and total paper count) in predicting future scientific achievement.

A Comparison between Two Main Academic Literature Collections: Web of Science and Scopus Databases
Arezoo Aghaei Chadegani,Hadi Salehi,Melor Md Yunus,Hadi Farhadi,Masood Fooladi,Maryam Farhadi,Nader Ale Ebrahim +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of Web of Science and Scopus and provided a comprehensive comparison of these two databases to answer frequent questions which researchers ask, such as: How web of science and scopus are different? In which aspects these two database are similar? Or, if the researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they prefer?

Science Mapping: A Systematic Review of the Literature
TL;DR: A systematic review of the literature concerning major aspects of science mapping is presented to demonstrate the use of a science mapping approach to perform the review so that researchers may apply the procedure to the review of a scientific domain of their own interest.

Universality of citation distributions: Toward an objective measure of scientific impact
TL;DR: It is shown that the probability that an article is cited c times has large variations between different disciplines, but all distributions are rescaled on a universal curve when the relative indicator cf = c/c0 is considered, where c0 is the average number of citations per article for the discipline.

Impact of data sources on citation counts and rankings of LIS faculty: Web of science versus scopus and google scholar
Lokman I. Meho,Kiduk Yang +1 more
TL;DR: Results show that Scopus significantly alters the relative ranking of those scholars that appear in the middle of the rankings and that GS stands out in its coverage of conference proceedings as well as international, non-English language journals.

Stretched exponential distributions in nature and economy: ``fat tails'' with characteristic scales
Jean Laherrere,Didier Sornette +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed the stretched exponential family as a complement to the often used power law distributions, which has many advantages, among which to be economical with only two adjustable parameters with clear physical interpretation.

Sleeping Beauties in science
TL;DR: The first extensive measurement of the occurrence of Sleeping Beauties in the science literature is reported, derived from the measurements an ‘awakening’ probability function and identified the ‘most extreme Sleeping Beauty so far’.
