Data Mining Citation Databases

Abstract

A new citations index measure that combines total citations and h-index values is proposed. Based on the new citation index, a new algorithm that identifies emerging scientific leaders is also proposed. Experimental results show that the new method can predict Physics Nobel prizewinners from among other highly cited physics researchers many years ahead of their winning of a Nobel Prize. Hence while neither total citations nor h-index alone were good indicators, their combinations can be significant predictors of excellence in science.

Cite this work

No public copy is stored for this record, so only the metadata is cited.

Stored only when both papers are in the corpus — 9 citations exist upstream.

Papers that cite the same references — the relational fallback while embeddings are still backfilling.
