description • We propose new measures of the impact of research based on fractional counted citations, called individual citations. • By applying the PageRank algorithm to individual citations we define a PaperRank for citations among papers and an AuthorRank for citations among authors. • We show that self- and circular-citations can be eliminated by defining a closed market of Citation-coins. • We apply these metrics to the InSpire database that covers fundamental physics, to rank papers, authors, journals, institutes, towns, and countries, for all times and in recent time periods.

Since different papers and different fields have largely different average number of co-authors and of references we replace citations with individual citations, shared among co-authors. Next, we improve on citation counting applying the PageRank algorithm to citations among papers. Being time-ordered, this reduces to a weighted counting of citation descendants that we call PaperRank. Similarly, we compute an AuthorRank applying the PageRank algorithm to citations among authors. These metrics quantify the impact of an author or paper taking into account the impact of those authors that cite it. Finally, we show how self- and circular- citations can be eliminated by defining a closed market of citation-coins. We apply these metrics to the InSpire database that covers fundamental physics, ranking papers, authors, journals, institutes, towns, countries, continents, genders, for all-time and in recent time periods.arXiv:1803.10713CERN-TH-2018-066oai:cds.cern.ch:23139482018-03-28
