Are all citations worth the same? Valuing citations by the value of the citing items
作者:
Highlights:
• We propose and apply a model to value citations by the impact of the citing articles.
• Citations have value from 1 (if from uncited articles) to 2 (if from highest cited articles).
• The proposed impact indicator is highly correlated to the traditional citation count.
• The new indicator shows greater sensitivity when used to identify top-cited papers.
