The Distribution of the Asymptotic Number of Citations to Sets of Publications by a Researcher or from an Academic Department Are Consistent with a Discrete Lognormal Model (original) (raw)
Comparison of across departments, journals, and researchers.
We show the maximum likelihood fitted for chemistry departments and chemistry journals in select years, and for all chemistry researchers in our database. The black horizontal dashed lines mark the value of the corresponding parameter for the Journal of the American Chemical Society in 1995. For clarity, we do not show for 23 journals that are outliers.
