Implementation of the PaperRank and AuthorRank indices in the Scopus database
作者：
Highlights：
• The PaperRank and AuthorRank indices represent an economic version of the Google PageRank algorithm to evaluate scientific publications and authors.
• These bibliometric indices provide more useful information than the number of citations and the h-index.
• The indices have been tested by using the Scopus database.
• PaperRank and AuthorRank are additive.
• As an example, if the PaperRank is added to the Scopus record of each paper, then each new citation of that paper would result in an (easily computable) increment in its PaperRank.
• New indices based on the PaperRank are derived improving the known ones and emphasing specific peculiarities of scientific disciplines.
