Abstract: The existing Science Citation Index only counts direct citations, 
whereas PageRank disregards the number of direct citations. We propose a new 
Comprehensive Citation Index (CCI) that evaluates both direct and indirect 
intellectual influence of research papers, and show that CCI is more reliable in 
discovering research papers with far-reaching influence.
