TLDR
Methods of selecting reference standards and scaling procedures are surveyed in this study, and examples are given to their practical application.Abstract:
Comparative assessment of scientometric indicators is greatly hindered by the different standards valid in different science fields and subfields. Indicators concerning to different fields can be compared only after first gauging them against a properly chosen reference standard, and their relative standing can then be compared. Methods of selecting reference standards and scaling procedures are surveyed in this study, and examples are given to their practical application.read more

Why the impact factor of journals should not be used for evaluating research
TL;DR: Alternative methods for evaluating research are being sought, such as citation rates and journal impact factors, which seem to be quantitative and objective indicators directly related to published science.

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.

Bibliographic coupling between scientific papers
TL;DR: The population of papers under study was ordered into groups that satisfy the stated criterion of interrelation and an examination of the papers that constitute the groups shows a high degree of logical correlation.

Relative indicators and relational charts for comparative assessment of publication output and citation impact
András Schubert,Tibor Braun +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, relative indicators of chemistry research in 25 countries are presented as an illustrative example, and the use of relational charts in displaying the indicators broadens the scope of such assessments.
