Self-Citations and scientific evaluation: Leadership, influence, and performance

作者:

Highlights:

• Performance assessment should account for distinct individual contributions.

• When the alphabetical order of the names is the tradition, this is not possible.

• We introduce the concept of scientific influence and evaluate it at the paper-level.

• Self-citations are used to measure the level of scientific influence.

• We build an index of scientific performance that incorporates scientific influence.
