Current State of Scholarly Measure

Well-known Problems with Citation Analysis
• Self-citations• Citations added because of pressure by editors• Negative citations• Only about 30% of influences are cited*• “Informal” influence isn’t measured through citations• Secondary sources– Review articles “take” citations away from reviewed articles
• Matthew effect – the rich get richer
* MacRoberts and MacRoberts, 2010
