The comparison of normalization procedures based on different classification systems
作者：
Highlights：
• We propose two rankings of normalization procedures using for evaluation purposes the two classification systems on which depend.
• In the empirical part, we use four classification systems, four mean citation normalization procedures, and a large Thomson Reuters dataset.
• Since the two rankings are independent from each other, they can be used in a complementary fashion.
• The evaluation using an independent classification system proves to be useful in a variety of situations.
