Citation measures at the micro level: Influence of publication age, field, and uncitedness

Tijdschriftbijdrage - Tijdschriftartikel

The application of micro-level citation indicators is not
without controversy. The procedure requires the availability
of both adequate data sets and trusted metrics.
Few indicators have been developed to deal specifically
with individual assessment. The h-type indices are the
most popular category; however, the dependence of
h-type metrics on publication age and field makes their
application often unjustified. This article studies the
effects that publication age and field normalization have
on h-type citation values of German Leibniz Prize
winners. This data set is exclusive in that it is highly
scrutinized for homonyms. Results are compared with
other field-normalized citation rates, contributing to the
debate on using demarcation versus average citation
approaches to evaluate top researchers.
