Expert-based versus citation-based ranking of scholarly and scientific publication channels

作者:

Highlights:

• We analyze the expert-based ranks in the Finnish publication forum.

• We use more involved analysis techniques and explanatory variables than existing studies do.

• Most ranks can be automatically constructed through reference models.

• Deviating ranks can be explained by the publication activity of Finnish researchers.

• Using the automatically constructed ranks would be more objective and save costs.
