Quantifying perceived impact of scientific publications

作者:

Highlights:

• Researchers tend to prefer their own publications to those by others. This bias is so strong that they prefer their own publications even to the most cited papers in their own field of research.

• When assessing papers written by others, researchers perceive the impact of these papers in way that is not strongly correlated with citation impact.

• Citation impact and perceived impact are significantly correlated only when researchers are asked to judge their own work.
