Journal ArticleDOI
An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output
TL;DR: The index h, defined as the number of papers with citation number ≥h, is proposed as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ranking scientific publications using a model of network traffic
TL;DR: To account for strong ageing characteristics of citation networks, the PageRank algorithm is modified by initially distributing random surfers exponentially with age, in favour of more recent publications, and the output is interpreted as approximate traffic to individual publications in a simple model of how researchers find new information.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-citation corrections for the Hirsch index
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose to sharpen the index h, suggested by Hirsch as a useful index to characterize the scientific output of a researcher, by excluding the self-citations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonuniversal power law scaling in the probability distribution of scientific citations
TL;DR: A model for the distribution of scientific citations is developed and it is found that papers having few citations are cited mainly by the direct mechanism, and papers already having many citations (“classics”) are cited mostly by the indirect mechanism.
