Article-level metrics
Metrics:
- Times Cited (Cited by, Citations) - The number of times an article has appeared in another publication’s reference list.
- Feld Weighted Citation Impact (Scopus) - Shows how well this document is cited when compared to similar documents. A value greater than 1.00 means the document is more cited than expected.
- Citation Benchmarking (Scopus) - Shows citations received by this document compared with the average for similar documents.
- Percentile in subject area (Web of Science) - Displays the percentage of documents of the same type, from the same category and published in the same year that have a lower citation count than this paper.
- Category Normalized Citation Impact (Web of Science) - The ratio of a document's actual times cited count to the expected count for a document of the same type, from the same category, and published in the same year. If the ratio is above 1, then the document's citation performance is above average.
- Category expected citations (Web of Science) - The expected number of citations calculated from other items of the same type (article, review, etc.) published in the same subject categories and year.
