Abstract: We propose Focused Page Rank (FPR) algorithm adaptation for the 
problem of scientific papers ranking. FPR is based on the Focused Surfer 
model, where the probability to follow the reference in a paper is 
proportional to its citation count. Evaluation on Citeseer autonomous 
digital library content showed that proposed model is a tradeoff between 
traditional citation count and basic Page Rank (PR). In contrast to basic 
Page Rank, proposed Focused Surfer model suffers less from the "outbound 
links" problem. We believe that FPR algorithm is closer to reality because 
highly cited papers are more visible and tend to attract more citations in 
future. This is in accordance with the one of the most significant 
principles of Scientometrics. No need for lexical analysis of the domain 
corpus and simplicity of implementation are among the strong points of the 
proposed model and make the proposed ranking technique attractive for 
academia digital libraries.
