Is the new citation-rank approach P100' in bibliometrics really new?
Michael Schreiber
TL;DR
This paper compares the P100' citation-rank approach with P100 in bibliometrics, showing they are similar in impact assessment, and introduces a new indicator P100'' for improved analysis.
Contribution
The paper evaluates the P100' approach against P100 using empirical and model data, and proposes a new indicator P100'' for citation impact measurement.
Findings
P100' is similar to P100 in citation frequency distribution
P100'' is introduced as a new indicator
P100' does not significantly differ from standard percentile ratings
Abstract
The percentile-based rating scale P100 describes the citation impact in terms of the distribution of unique citation values. This approach has recently been refined by considering also the frequency of papers with the same citation counts. Here I compare the resulting P100' with P100 for an empirical dataset and a simple fictitious model dataset. It is shown that P100' is not much different from standard percentile-based ratings in terms of citation frequencies. A new indicator P100'' is introduced.
