Globalised vs averaged: Bias and ranking performance on the author level

作者:

Highlights:

• We compare the averaged and globalised aggregation approaches on the author level.

• We analyse the differences based on various normalised paper-level metrics.

• The differences in field bias are marginal.

• The globalised variant of percentile scores identifies influential researchers better.

• The differences between the variants for citation scores are generally insignificant.
