This paper examines the problem of measuring intellectual influence based on data on citations between scholarly publications. We follow an axiomatic approach and find that the properties of invariance to reference intensity, weak homogeneity, weak consistency, and invariance to splitting of journals characterize a unique ranking method. This method is different from those regularly used in economics and other social sciences.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that all opinions in a large society converge to the truth if and only if the influence of the most influential agent vanishes as the society grows.

A new approach to the metric of journals’ scientific prestige: The SJR indicator
TL;DR: A size-independent indicator of journals’ scientific prestige, the SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) indicator, is proposed that ranks scholarly journals based on citation weighting schemes and eigenvector centrality and is designed for use with complex and heterogeneous citation networks such as Scopus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of SCImago journal rank indicator with journal impact factor
TL;DR: Although further validation is warranted, the novel SJR indicator poses as a serious alternative to the well‐established journal IF, mainly due to its openaccess nature, larger source database, and assessment of the quality of citations.

How Much Better are the Most Prestigious Journals? The Statistics of Academic Publication
TL;DR: There is much overlap in articles in different prestige strata, and theory implies that about half of the articles published are not among the best ones submitted to those journals, and some of the manuscripts that belong in the highest-value 20% have the misfortune to elicit rejections from as many as five journals.

How Much Better Are the Most-Prestigious Journals? The Statistics of Academic Publication
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a statistical theory of review processes to draw inferences about differences value between articles in more-prestigious versus less prestigious journals and found that there is much overlap in articles in different prestige strata.

Citation influence for journal aggregates of scientific publications: Theory, with application to the literature of physics
Gabriel Pinski,Francis Narin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a self-consistent methodology is developed for determining citation based influence measures for scientific journals, subfields and fields, starting with the cross citing matrix between journals or between aggregates of journals, an eigenvalue problem is formulated leading to a size independent influence weight for each journal or aggregate.
