Relations of relative scientometric indicators

Author

  • Péter Vinkler

    (Hungarian Academy of Sciences)

Abstract

Relative indicators are preferably used for comparative evaluation of thematically different sets of journal papers. The Relative Publication Strategy and Relative Subfield Citedness (RPS/RW) function referring to a set of papers selected was found to be identical with the Mean Expected Citation Rate and Mean Observed Citation Rate (MECR/MOCR) function.
