作者:

Highlights:

• The Mean Normalised Log-transformed Citation Score confidence interval formula is safe but, for large groups is conservative.

• Bootstrap Mean Normalised Log-transformed Citation Score confidence intervals can be unsafe for small sample sizes.

• Bootstrap Mean Normalised Citation Score confidence intervals can be unsafe for small sample sizes.
