Title: | Global informetric impact: A description and definition using bundles | Authors: | EGGHE, Leo ROUSSEAU, Ronald |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER | Source: | Journal of Informetrics, 17 (1) (Art N° 101366) | Abstract: | Inspired by the Lorenz curve for evenness or concentration, and the corresponding axioms, we construct a theory leading to the notion of global impact. In this theory, we construct a relation that plays the role of the Lorenz dominance order for evenness or concentration theory. The notion of global impact that we obtain is such that well-known global impact bundles such as percentiles, the cumulative number of items produced by the x most productive sources, the average production of the x most productive sources, the generalized h-and g-indices, and the highest number of citations indeed measure impact in our sense of the word. | Notes: | Rousseau, R (corresponding author), Katholieke Univ Leuven, MSI, Facultair Onderzoekscentrum ECOOM, Naamsestr 61, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium.; Rousseau, R (corresponding author), Univ Antwerp, Fac Social Sci, Middelheimlaan 1, B-2020 Antwerp, Belgium. ronald.rousseau@kuleuven.be |
