ABSTRACT: Pore structure is one of important factors affecting the
properties of porous media, but it is difficult to describe the
complexity of pore structure exactly. Fractal theory is an effective and
available method for quantifying the complex and irregular pore
structure. In this paper, the fractal dimension calculated by box-
counting method based on fractal theory was applied to characterize the
pore structure of artificial cores. The microstructure or pore
distribution in the porous material was obtained using the nuclear
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three classical fractals and one sand
packed bed model were selected as the experimental material to
investigate the influence of box sizes, threshold value, and the image
resolution when performing fractal analysis. To avoid the influence of
box sizes, a sequence of divisors of the image was proposed and compared
with other two algorithms (geometric sequence and arithmetic sequence)
with its performance of partitioning the image completely and bringing
the least fitted error. Threshold value selected manually and
automatically showed that it plays an important role during the image
binary processing and the minimum-error method can be used to obtain an
appropriate or reasonable one. Images obtained under different pixel
matrices in MRI were used to analyze the influence of image resolution.
Higher image resolution can detect more quantity of pore structure and
increase its irregularity. With benefits of those influence factors,
fractal analysis on four kinds of artificial cores showed the fractal
dimension can be used to distinguish the different kinds of artificial
cores and the relationship between fractal dimension and porosity or
permeability can be expressed by the model of D=a - bln(x+c). (C) 2012

ABSTRACT: Empirical studies of obliteration by incorporation (OBI)
may be conducted at the level of the database record or the fulltext
citation-in-context. To assess the difference between the two approaches,
1,040 articles with a variant of the phrase "evolutionarily stable
strategies" (ESS) were identified by searching the Web of Science
(Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia, PA) and discipline-level databases. The
majority (72%) of all articles were published in life sciences journals.
The ESS concept is associated with a small set of canonical publications
by John Maynard Smith; OBI represents a decoupling of the use of the
phrase and a citation to a John Maynard Smith publication. Across all
articles at the record level, OBI is measured by the number of articles
with the phrase in the database record but which lack a reference to a
source article (implicit citations). At the citation-in-context level,
articles that coupled a non-Maynard Smith citation with the ESS phrase
(indirect citations) were counted along with those that cited relevant
Maynard Smith publications (explicit citations) and OBI counted only
based on those articles that lacked any citation coupled with the ESS
text phrase. The degree of OBI observed depended on the level of
analysis. Record-level OBI trended upward, peaking in 2002 (62%), with a
secondary drop and rebound to 53% (2008). Citation-in-context OBI
percentages were lower with no clear pattern. Several issues relating to
the design of empirical OBI studies are discussed.

TITLE: The weakening relationship between the impact factor and
papers' citations in the digital age (Article, English)

SEARCH TERM(S): CITATION* IMPACT FACTOR*
KEYWORDS: bibliometrics; impact factor
KEYWORDS+: JOURNALS
ABSTRACT: Historically, papers have been physically bound to the
journal in which they were published; but in the digital age papers are
available individually, no longer tied to their respective journals.
Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits,
independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or
impact factor (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between
journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective
papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers'
citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals'
IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation
between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in
physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the
electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of
highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing
and, of these highly cited papers, the proportion not coming from highly
cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it
might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality
of journals, papers, and researchers.

ABSTRACT: The Internet has substantially increased the online
accessibility of scholarly publications and allowed researchers to access
relevant information efficiently across different journals and databases
(Costa & Meadows, ). Because of online accessibility, academic
researchers tend to read more, and reading has become more superficial
(Olle & Borrego, ), such that information overload has become an
important issue. Given this circumstance, how the Internet affects
knowledge transfer, or, more specifically, the citation behavior of
researchers, has become a recent focus of interest. This study assesses
the effects of the Internet on citation patterns in terms of 4
characteristics of cited documents: topic relevance, author status,
journal prestige, and age of references. This work hypothesizes that
academic scholars cite more topically relevant articles, more articles
written by lower status authors, articles published in less prestigious
journals, and older articles with online accessibility. The current study
also hypothesizes that researcher knowledge level moderates such Internet
effects. We chose the IT and Group subject area and collected 241
documents published in the pre-web period (1991-1995) and 867 documents
published in the web-prevalent period (2006-2010) in the Web of Science
database. The references of these documents were analyzed to test the
proposed hypotheses, which are significantly supported by the empirical
results.

ABSTRACT: In many data sets, articles are classified into subfields
through the journals in which they have been published. The problem is
that while many journals are assigned to a single subfield, many others
are assigned to several. This article discusses a multiplicative and a
fractional strategy to deal with this situation. The empirical part
studies different aspects of citation distributions under the two
strategies, namely: the number of articles, the mean citation rate, the
broad shape of the distribution, their characterization in terms of size-
and scale-invariant indicators of high and low impact, and the presence
of extreme distributions, that is, distributions that behave very
differently from the rest. We found that, despite large differences in
the number of articles according to both strategies, the similarity of
the citation characteristics of articles published in journals assigned
to one or several subfields guarantees that choosing one of the two
strategies may not lead to a radically different picture in practical
applications. Nevertheless, the characterization of citation excellence
through a high-impact indicator may considerably differ depending on that
choice.

ABSTRACT: Bibliometric techniques and social network analysis are
used to define the patterns of international medical research in Latin
America and the Caribbean based on information available in the Scopus
database. The objective was to ascertain countries' capacity to establish
intra- and extraregional scientific collaboration. The results show that
increased output and citations in medical research have heightened the
region's presence and participation in the international scientific
arena. These findings may be partly influenced by the inclusion of new
journals in the database and regional initiatives that may have enhanced
collaboration and knowledge transfer in science. The overall rise in
partnering rates is slightly greater intra- than extraregionally. The
possible effect of geographic, idiomatic, and cultural proximity is
likewise identified. The "scientific dependence" of small or developing
countries would explain their high collaboration rates and impact. The
evidence shows that the most productive countries draw from knowledge
generated domestically or by their neighbors, which would explain why
impact is so highly concentrated in the regions with the greatest output.
The need to incentivize intraregional relationships must be stressed,
although international initiatives should also be supported.

ABSTRACT: Multiple perspectives on the nonlinear processes of
medical innovations can be distinguished and combined using the Medical
Subject Headings (MeSH) of the MEDLINE database. Focusing on three main
branches-"diseases," "drugs and chemicals," and "techniques and
equipment"-we use base maps and overlay techniques to investigate the
translations and interactions and thus to gain a bibliometric perspective
on the dynamics of medical innovations. To this end, we first analyze the
MEDLINE database, the MeSH index tree, and the various options for a
static mapping from different perspectives and at different levels of
aggregation. Following a specific innovation (RNA interference) over
time, the notion of a trajectory which leaves a signature in the database
is elaborated. Can the detailed index terms describing the dynamics of
research be used to predict the diffusion dynamics of research results?
Possibilities are specified for further integration between the MEDLINE
database on one hand, and the Science Citation Index and Scopus
(containing citation information) on the other.

ABSTRACT: We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic
institutions based on their journal publication profiles. We believe that
journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their
works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the
relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons.
However, when academic journals are used for research output
representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on
their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of
journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal
in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published
their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic
institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how
frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers
in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the
academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate
groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish
universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to
an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two
scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as
Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology
can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also
in different disciplinary contexts.

ABSTRACT: The way in which scientific publications are picked up by
the research community can vary. Some articles become instantly cited,
whereas others go unnoticed for some time before they are discovered or
rediscovered. Papers with delayed recognition have also been labeled
sleeping beauties. I briefly discuss an extreme case of a sleeping
beauty. Peirce's short note in Science in 1884 shows a remarkable
increase in citations since around 2000. The note received less than 1
citation per year in the decades prior to 2000, 3.5 citations per year in
the 2000s, and 10.4 in the 2010s. This increase was seen in several
domains, most notably meteorology, medical prediction research, and
economics. The paper outlines formulas to evaluate a binary prediction
system for a binary outcome. This citation increase in various domains
may be attributed to a widespread, growing research focus on mathematical
prediction systems and the evaluation thereof. Several recently suggested
evaluation measures essentially reinvented or extended Peirce's 120-year-
old ideas.

Abstract:
Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the relevance of a citing document is related to the number of times with which the source document is cited. Despite the ease with which electronic documents would permit the incorporation of this information into citation-based document search and retrieval systems, the possibilities of repeated citations remain untapped. Part of this under-utilization may be due to the fact that very little is known regarding the pattern of repeated citations in scholarly literature or how this pattern may vary as a function of journal, academic discipline or self-citation. The current research addresses these unanswered questions in order to facilitate the future incorporation of repeated citation information into document search and retrieval systems. Using data mining of electronic texts, the citation characteristics of nine different journals, covering the three different academic fields (economics, computing, and medicine & biology),!
were characterized. It was found that the frequency (f) with which a reference is cited Nor more times within a document is consistent across the sampled journals and academic fields. Self-citation causes an increase in frequency, and this effect becomes more pronounced for large N. The objectivity, automatability, and insensitivity of repeated citations to journal and discipline, present powerful opportunities for improving citation-based document search. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:
Nanotechnology shows great promise in a variety of applications with attractive economic and societal benefits. However, societal issues associated with nanotechnology are still a concern to the general public. While numerous technological advancements in nanotechnology have been achieved over the past decade, research into the broader societal issues of nanotechnology is still in its early phases. Based on the data from the Web of Science database, we applied the main path analysis, cluster analysis and text mining tools to explore the main research fronts and hierarchical structure of these societal issues. We found that the research studies fell into four categories: "General Toxicity and EHS (Environment, Health and Safety)," "Medicine and Cytotoxicity," "Assessment and Regulation," and "Environment and Ecotoxicity." These research studies have disclosed much information about the potential effect of nanotechnology on public health and the environment. Relatively speakin!
g, the studies on the assessment, regulation, preventive solutions, and environmental protection are just emerging. This finding indicates that an abundance of effort should be conducted on these emerging themes to maximize the benefits of nanotechnology while minimizing its potential harm. The implications for various parties in this domain are also presented.

Abstract:
Technology has evolved through the dynamic process of knowledge transfer. The exploration of technological evolution from a quantitative perspective has often been mentioned in the intellectual pursuit. The study applies bibliometric method to the articles published in the field of mechanism and machine theory (MMT). Afterward we analyzed the trends of MMT articles during the 30 years. We found that the ratios of the MMT papers in each journal have a trend of growth and have been centered on the certain two magazines. The articles of MMT exhibit a trend of growth. The USA, China and Canada are the major countries which frequently published the papers in the field of MMT and have significant performance in citations. China has rapidly grown in the quantity and the ratios of papers. In addition, the top 10 researchers with the highest h-index in the field of MMT are primarily affiliated with institutions in English-spoken countries, trumping the other countries.

Abstract:
A bibliometric method was developed to investigate the aerosol research based on the papers from 1991 to 2009 in Science Citation Index Expanded, the Thomson Reuters. The analysed aspects covered scientific output and citation tracking on the basis of journal patterns; country; institute and author research performances. Improved indicators Peak-Year Citation per Publication and Relative Peak-Year Rate were applied. A significant share of the citation impact and the most cited articles distribution were identified. Lotka's law held good in author performance. Finally, the paper discusses the imperfect nature of the indicators and proposes complementary methods for research evaluation procedures.

ABSTRACT: Pore structure is one of important factors affecting the
properties of porous media, but it is difficult to describe the
complexity of pore structure exactly. Fractal theory is an effective and
available method for quantifying the complex and irregular pore
structure. In this paper, the fractal dimension calculated by box-
counting method based on fractal theory was applied to characterize the
pore structure of artificial cores. The microstructure or pore
distribution in the porous material was obtained using the nuclear
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three classical fractals and one sand
packed bed model were selected as the experimental material to
investigate the influence of box sizes, threshold value, and the image
resolution when performing fractal analysis. To avoid the influence of
box sizes, a sequence of divisors of the image was proposed and compared
with other two algorithms (geometric sequence and arithmetic sequence)
with its performance of partitioning the image completely and bringing
the least fitted error. Threshold value selected manually and
automatically showed that it plays an important role during the image
binary processing and the minimum-error method can be used to obtain an
appropriate or reasonable one. Images obtained under different pixel
matrices in MRI were used to analyze the influence of image resolution.
Higher image resolution can detect more quantity of pore structure and
increase its irregularity. With benefits of those influence factors,
fractal analysis on four kinds of artificial cores showed the fractal
dimension can be used to distinguish the different kinds of artificial
cores and the relationship between fractal dimension and porosity or
permeability can be expressed by the model of D=a - bln(x+c). (C) 2012

ABSTRACT: Empirical studies of obliteration by incorporation (OBI)
may be conducted at the level of the database record or the fulltext
citation-in-context. To assess the difference between the two approaches,
1,040 articles with a variant of the phrase "evolutionarily stable
strategies" (ESS) were identified by searching the Web of Science
(Thomson Reuters, Philadelphia, PA) and discipline-level databases. The
majority (72%) of all articles were published in life sciences journals.
The ESS concept is associated with a small set of canonical publications
by John Maynard Smith; OBI represents a decoupling of the use of the
phrase and a citation to a John Maynard Smith publication. Across all
articles at the record level, OBI is measured by the number of articles
with the phrase in the database record but which lack a reference to a
source article (implicit citations). At the citation-in-context level,
articles that coupled a non-Maynard Smith citation with the ESS phrase
(indirect citations) were counted along with those that cited relevant
Maynard Smith publications (explicit citations) and OBI counted only
based on those articles that lacked any citation coupled with the ESS
text phrase. The degree of OBI observed depended on the level of
analysis. Record-level OBI trended upward, peaking in 2002 (62%), with a
secondary drop and rebound to 53% (2008). Citation-in-context OBI
percentages were lower with no clear pattern. Several issues relating to
the design of empirical OBI studies are discussed.

KEYWORDS: bibliometrics; impact factor
KEYWORDS+: JOURNALS
ABSTRACT: Historically, papers have been physically bound to the
journal in which they were published; but in the digital age papers are
available individually, no longer tied to their respective journals.
Hence, papers now can be read and cited based on their own merits,
independently of the journal's physical availability, reputation, or
impact factor (IF). We compare the strength of the relationship between
journals' IFs and the actual citations received by their respective
papers from 1902 to 2009. Throughout most of the 20th century, papers'
citation rates were increasingly linked to their respective journals'
IFs. However, since 1990, the advent of the digital age, the relation
between IFs and paper citations has been weakening. This began first in
physics, a field that was quick to make the transition into the
electronic domain. Furthermore, since 1990 the overall proportion of
highly cited papers coming from highly cited journals has been decreasing
and, of these highly cited papers, the proportion not coming from highly
cited journals has been increasing. Should this pattern continue, it
might bring an end to the use of the IF as a way to evaluate the quality
of journals, papers, and researchers.

ABSTRACT: The Internet has substantially increased the online
accessibility of scholarly publications and allowed researchers to access
relevant information efficiently across different journals and databases
(Costa & Meadows, ). Because of online accessibility, academic
researchers tend to read more, and reading has become more superficial
(Olle & Borrego, ), such that information overload has become an
important issue. Given this circumstance, how the Internet affects
knowledge transfer, or, more specifically, the citation behavior of
researchers, has become a recent focus of interest. This study assesses
the effects of the Internet on citation patterns in terms of 4
characteristics of cited documents: topic relevance, author status,
journal prestige, and age of references. This work hypothesizes that
academic scholars cite more topically relevant articles, more articles
written by lower status authors, articles published in less prestigious
journals, and older articles with online accessibility. The current study
also hypothesizes that researcher knowledge level moderates such Internet
effects. We chose the IT and Group subject area and collected 241
documents published in the pre-web period (1991-1995) and 867 documents
published in the web-prevalent period (2006-2010) in the Web of Science
database. The references of these documents were analyzed to test the
proposed hypotheses, which are significantly supported by the empirical
results.

ABSTRACT: In many data sets, articles are classified into subfields
through the journals in which they have been published. The problem is
that while many journals are assigned to a single subfield, many others
are assigned to several. This article discusses a multiplicative and a
fractional strategy to deal with this situation. The empirical part
studies different aspects of citation distributions under the two
strategies, namely: the number of articles, the mean citation rate, the
broad shape of the distribution, their characterization in terms of size-
and scale-invariant indicators of high and low impact, and the presence
of extreme distributions, that is, distributions that behave very
differently from the rest. We found that, despite large differences in
the number of articles according to both strategies, the similarity of
the citation characteristics of articles published in journals assigned
to one or several subfields guarantees that choosing one of the two
strategies may not lead to a radically different picture in practical
applications. Nevertheless, the characterization of citation excellence
through a high-impact indicator may considerably differ depending on that
choice.

ABSTRACT: Bibliometric techniques and social network analysis are
used to define the patterns of international medical research in Latin
America and the Caribbean based on information available in the Scopus
database. The objective was to ascertain countries' capacity to establish
intra- and extraregional scientific collaboration. The results show that
increased output and citations in medical research have heightened the
region's presence and participation in the international scientific
arena. These findings may be partly influenced by the inclusion of new
journals in the database and regional initiatives that may have enhanced
collaboration and knowledge transfer in science. The overall rise in
partnering rates is slightly greater intra- than extraregionally. The
possible effect of geographic, idiomatic, and cultural proximity is
likewise identified. The "scientific dependence" of small or developing
countries would explain their high collaboration rates and impact. The
evidence shows that the most productive countries draw from knowledge
generated domestically or by their neighbors, which would explain why
impact is so highly concentrated in the regions with the greatest output.
The need to incentivize intraregional relationships must be stressed,
although international initiatives should also be supported.

ABSTRACT: Multiple perspectives on the nonlinear processes of
medical innovations can be distinguished and combined using the Medical
Subject Headings (MeSH) of the MEDLINE database. Focusing on three main
branches-"diseases," "drugs and chemicals," and "techniques and
equipment"-we use base maps and overlay techniques to investigate the
translations and interactions and thus to gain a bibliometric perspective
on the dynamics of medical innovations. To this end, we first analyze the
MEDLINE database, the MeSH index tree, and the various options for a
static mapping from different perspectives and at different levels of
aggregation. Following a specific innovation (RNA interference) over
time, the notion of a trajectory which leaves a signature in the database
is elaborated. Can the detailed index terms describing the dynamics of
research be used to predict the diffusion dynamics of research results?
Possibilities are specified for further integration between the MEDLINE
database on one hand, and the Science Citation Index and Scopus
(containing citation information) on the other.

ABSTRACT: We introduce a novel methodology for mapping academic
institutions based on their journal publication profiles. We believe that
journals in which researchers from academic institutions publish their
works can be considered as useful identifiers for representing the
relationships between these institutions and establishing comparisons.
However, when academic journals are used for research output
representation, distinctions must be introduced between them, based on
their value as institution descriptors. This leads us to the use of
journal weights attached to the institution identifiers. Since a journal
in which researchers from a large proportion of institutions published
their papers may be a bad indicator of similarity between two academic
institutions, it seems reasonable to weight it in accordance with how
frequently researchers from different institutions published their papers
in this journal. Cluster analysis can then be applied to group the
academic institutions, and dendrograms can be provided to illustrate
groups of institutions following agglomerative hierarchical clustering.
In order to test this methodology, we use a sample of Spanish
universities as a case study. We first map the study sample according to
an institution's overall research output, then we use it for two
scientific fields (Information and Communication Technologies, as well as
Medicine and Pharmacology) as a means to demonstrate how our methodology
can be applied, not only for analyzing institutions as a whole, but also
in different disciplinary contexts.

ABSTRACT: The way in which scientific publications are picked up by
the research community can vary. Some articles become instantly cited,
whereas others go unnoticed for some time before they are discovered or
rediscovered. Papers with delayed recognition have also been labeled
sleeping beauties. I briefly discuss an extreme case of a sleeping
beauty. Peirce's short note in Science in 1884 shows a remarkable
increase in citations since around 2000. The note received less than 1
citation per year in the decades prior to 2000, 3.5 citations per year in
the 2000s, and 10.4 in the 2010s. This increase was seen in several
domains, most notably meteorology, medical prediction research, and
economics. The paper outlines formulas to evaluate a binary prediction
system for a binary outcome. This citation increase in various domains
may be attributed to a widespread, growing research focus on mathematical
prediction systems and the evaluation thereof. Several recently suggested
evaluation measures essentially reinvented or extended Peirce's 120-year-
old ideas.

Abstract:
High and continuously increasing research activity related to different aspects of pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment of glioblastoma has been performed between 2006 and 2010. Different measures of impact, visibility and quality of published research are available, each with its own pros and cons. For this review, article citation rate was chosen. Articles were identified through systematic search of the abstract database PubMed followed by analyses of total number of citations and proportion of highly cited articles, arbitrarily defined as those with >= 100, 50-99, and 25-49 citations, respectively (citation database Scopus). Overall 5831 scientific articles on the subject were published during this time period. 1.5% of all articles accumulated at least 100 citations, 3.2% were cited between 50 and 99 times, and 7.5% were cited between 25 and 49 times. Among the 10 most cited articles, 7 reported on genomic analyses, molecular subclasses of glioblastoma and!
/or stem cells. Overall, 18 randomized clinical trials were published between 2006 and 2010, including those with phase II design. Thirty-nine percent of them accumulated at least 50 citations and 72% were cited at least 25 times. In general, annual citation rate appeared to gradually increase during the first 2-3 years after publication before reaching high levels. A large variety of preclinical and clinical topics achieved at least 25 citations. However, areas such as quality of life, side effects, and end-of-life care were underrepresented. Efforts to increase their visibility might be warranted. (c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:
Previous studies have repeatedly demonstrated that the relevance of a citing document is related to the number of times with which the source document is cited. Despite the ease with which electronic documents would permit the incorporation of this information into citation-based document search and retrieval systems, the possibilities of repeated citations remain untapped. Part of this under-utilization may be due to the fact that very little is known regarding the pattern of repeated citations in scholarly literature or how this pattern may vary as a function of journal, academic discipline or self-citation. The current research addresses these unanswered questions in order to facilitate the future incorporation of repeated citation information into document search and retrieval systems. Using data mining of electronic texts, the citation characteristics of nine different journals, covering the three different academic fields (economics, computing, and medicine & biology),!
were characterized. It was found that the frequency (f) with which a reference is cited Nor more times within a document is consistent across the sampled journals and academic fields. Self-citation causes an increase in frequency, and this effect becomes more pronounced for large N. The objectivity, automatability, and insensitivity of repeated citations to journal and discipline, present powerful opportunities for improving citation-based document search. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:
We examine what factors affect the degree of price discrimination for an academic journal by analyzing data on 190 of the 208 economics journals indexed in the 2008 edition of Journal Citation Reports. We find that (i) the library-to-individual price ratio of a for-profit journal is 37% higher than that of a comparable nonprofit journal because the price premium of a for-profit journal in the library market is disproportionately larger than that in the individual market, (ii) journals with higher citations per page or *impact factor* are more price discriminatory, and (iii) Elsevier and Wiley-Blackwell practice the highest degree of price discrimination of all publishers.

Abstract:
A bibliometric method was developed to investigate the aerosol research based on the papers from 1991 to 2009 in Science Citation Index Expanded, the Thomson Reuters. The analysed aspects covered scientific output and citation tracking on the basis of journal patterns; country; institute and author research performances. Improved indicators Peak-Year Citation per Publication and Relative Peak-Year Rate were applied. A significant share of the citation impact and the most cited articles distribution were identified. Lotka's law held good in author performance. Finally, the paper discusses the imperfect nature of the indicators and proposes complementary methods for research evaluation procedures.
