Abstract:
Citation analysis is performed in order to evaluate authors and scientific
collections, such as journals and conference proceedings. Currently, two
major systems exist that perform citation analysis: Science Citation Index
(SCI) by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) and Citeseer by the
NEC Research Institute. The SCI, mostly a manual system up until recently,
is based on the notion of the ISI Impact Factor, which has been used
extensively for citation analysis purposes. On the other hand the CiteSeer
system is an automatically built digital library using agents technology,
also based on the notion of ISI Impact Factor. In this paper, we investigate
new alternative notions besides the ISI impact factor, in order to provide a
novel approach aiming at ranking scientific collections. Furthermore, we
present a web-based system that has been built by extracting data from the
Databases and Logic Programming (DBLP) website of the University of Trier.
Our system, by using the new citation metrics, emerges as a useful tool for
ranking scientific collections. In this respect, some first remarks are
presented, e.g. on ranking conferences related to databases. (C) 2003
