TL;DR
This paper introduces a new method for detecting papermilling behavior in scientific publications using bibliometric data, including a novel integrity index, supported by a MATLAB tool and a case study.
Contribution
It proposes a new quantitative indicator, the I-index, and provides a MATLAB tool for analyzing Web of Science data to identify papermilling behavior.
Findings
Introduction of the I-index as a new indicator
Development of a MATLAB function for analysis
Application demonstrated through a case study
Abstract
Based on the analysis of the data obtainable from the Web of Science publication and citation database, typical signs of possible papermilling behavior are described, quantified, and illustrated by examples. A MATLAB function is provided for the analysis of the outputs from the Web of Science. A new quantitative indicator -- integrity index, or I-index -- is proposed for using it along with standard bibliographic and scientometric indicators. A case study is presented.
