A network embedding-based scholar assessment indicator considering four facets: Research topic, author credit allocation, field-normalized journal impact, and published time

作者：

Highlights：

• The paper designed a normalized scholar academic productivity (NSAP) indicator for scholar performance assessment.

• This indicator considers the research topic, author credit allocation, field-normalized journal and published date.

• Research topics were generated by keyword co-occurrence network embedding and semantics relatedness.

• Awardees of the DSPM and the Association for Information Science and Technology were used to evaluate the validity of NSAP.

• NSAP indicator results reveal outstanding topic-related scholar performance assessment properties compared to the raw citation count indicators.
