Fractional counting of authorship to quantify scientific research output
[article]
2011
arXiv
pre-print
We investigate the problem of counting co-authorhip in order to quantify the impact and relevance of scientific research output through normalized h-index and g-index. ...
We show that, in order to remove the dependence of the various indices on the two populations, the best way to define a fractional counting of autorship is to divide the number of citations received by ...
Acknowledgments: I'm very grateful to C. Basile and S. Donato who provided a partial dataset used in the paper. I'm grateful to P. Veltri and R. Bartolino for fruitful discussions. ...

Contributory inequality alters assessment of academic output gap between comparable countries
2015
Journal of Informetrics
An elite segment of the academic output gap between Denmark and Norway was examined using harmonic estimates of publication credit for contributions to Science and Nature in 2012 and 2013. ...
Concurrently, the credit produced by the least productive half of the contributions rose tenfold from 0.9% to 10.1% for Norway, but dropped from 7.2% to 5.7% for Denmark. ...

Bibliometrics for collaboration works
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
When counting citations we suggest the exponent α≈ 1, that corresponds to fractional counting. ...
An important issue in bibliometrics is the weighing of co-authorship in the production of scientific collaborations, which are becoming the standard modality of research activity in many disciplines. ...
The top-right panel of fig. 7 shows that h f exhibits the expected scale-invariant behaviour, and can thereby be used to quantify the scientific output of authors in a way that does not depend on their ...

A scientometrics law about co-authors and their ranking. The co-author core

Based on data about the publication output of a specific research group, a new bibliometric law is found. Let a co-author C have written J (joint) publications with one or several colleagues. ...
Rather than "measuring" a scientist impact through the number of citations which his/her published work can have generated, isn't it more appropriate to consider his/her value through his/her scientific ...

The h-index is no longer an effective correlate of scientific reputation
2021
PLoS ONE
We find that a fractional analogue of the h-index outperforms other measures as a correlate and predictor of scientific awards. ...
The impact of individual scientists is commonly quantified using citation-based measures. The most common such measure is the h-index. ...
This can ameliorate distortions introduced by contemporary authorship practices, lead to a more effective allocation of resources, and facilitate scientific discovery. ...

Calibrated fair measure of particle physics publications: indices to quantify an individual's scientific research output
2015
Canadian journal of physics (Print)
Are existing ways of measuring scientific quality reflecting disadvantages of not being part of giant collaborations? How could possible discrimination be avoided? ...
Based on the growing debate about defining potential biases and detecting unethical behavior, a standardized method to measure contributions of the astronomical number of coauthors is introduced. ...
To quantify the estimate of an individual's scientific research output, we investigate the number of papers of three scientists, one experimentalist and two theoreticians during the last five years (Fig ...

Although both metrics on average show positive correlations with citation count, single author papers show no significant difference in page or reference counts compared to the rest of the publications ...
Additionally, I analyze the scope and volume of single author publications, using page length and reference count as first-order approximations of the scope of publications. ...
This average increase in authorship naturally led to the decline in fractions of publications that are single authored. ...
