Questions the validity of size-independent citation indicators
Supports using the Fractional Scientific Strength for efficiency measurement
Highlights limitations of traditional citation impact metrics
Abstract
Abramo and D'Angelo (in press) doubt the validity of established size-independent indicators measuring citation impact and plead in favor of measuring scientific efficiency (by using the Fractional Scientific Strength indicator). This note is intended to comment on some questionable and a few favorable approaches in the paper by Abramo and D'Angelo (in press).
