Description
INTRODUCTION Information professionals are called on to determine how best to measure the impact of an author's articles, and citation counts are often regarded as one method for obtaining a quantitative expression of the utilization and contribution of a particular published paper. As Meho states, citation analysis assumes that influential works or scientists are cited more often than others [1]. Egghe and Rousseau claim that citation counts are based on four important assumptions: an article's citation implies use of that document by the citing author; the citation reflects the merit (quality, significance, impact) of the article; the references are from the best possible works on the topic; and the cited articles are related in content to the one in which they are used [2].
