Does citation context information enhance the validity of citation analysis for measuring research quality? An empirical comparison of peer assessments and enriched citations Open
As citation context information has entered the Web of Science (Clarivate) in recent years, one wonders whether the legitimacy and soundness of citation analyses for measuring research quality of publications can be improved by considering…

Towards a valid bibliometric measure of epistemic breadth of researchers Open
The concept of epistemic breadth of the work of a researcher refers to the scope of their knowledge claims, as reflected in published research reports. Studies of epistemic breadth have been hampered by the lack of a validated measure of t…

Clustering experiments with the Astro benchmarking data set with semantic document embeddings – off-the-shelf vs. custom embeddings created from citations, text, and both Open
What accounts for the observed better quality of publication-level topical science clustering solutions which use only citation relations as input data, compared to those using sophisticated semantic similarity data derived from both citat…

Drawbacks of Normalization by Percentile Ranks in Citation Impact Studies Open
This paper discusses drawbacks of the percentile rank method for citation impact normalization which have hitherto been neglected in the bibliometrics literature. The transformation of citation counts to percentile ranks changes ratio scal…
