Mitigating ageing bias in article level metrics using citation network analysis

作者:

Highlights:

• An ageing bias free article level scientometric indicator is defined.

• The Time Debiased Significance Score (TDSS) eliminates any global trend.

• The TDSS uses the structure of the citation network.

• A procedure for endowing TDSS with accuracy estimation capabilities is presented.

• The indicator has additional beneficial properties such as domain independence.
