Bibliometric rankings of journals based on Impact Factors: An axiomatic approach

Bouyssou, Denis; Marchant, Thierry - In: Journal of Informetrics 5 (2011) 1, pp. 75-86

This paper proposes an axiomatic analysis of Impact Factors when used as tools for ranking journals.

Unpacking the Matthew effect in citations

Wang, Jian - In: Journal of Informetrics 8 (2014) 2, pp. 329-339

One problem confronting the use of citation-based metrics in science studies and research evaluations is the Matthew effect. This paper reviews the role of citations in science and decomposes the Matthew effect in citations into three components: networking, prestige, and appropriateness. The...

The Matthew effect for cohorts of economists

Tol, Richard S.J. - In: Journal of Informetrics 7 (2013) 2, pp. 522-527

This paper applies the Ijiri–Simon test for systematic deviations from Gibrat's law to citation numbers of economists. It is found that often-cited researchers attract new citation numbers that are disproportionate to the quality of their work. It is also found that this Matthew effect is...

Saint Matthew strikes again: An agent-based model of peer review and the scientific community structure

Squazzoni, Flaminio; Gandelli, Claudio - In: Journal of Informetrics 6 (2012) 2, pp. 265-275

This paper investigates the impact of referee reliability on the quality and efficiency of peer review. We modeled peer review as a process based on knowledge asymmetries and subject to evaluation bias. We tested various levels of referee reliability and different mechanisms of reviewing effort...

The Matthew effect in economics reconsidered

Birkmaier, Daniel; Wohlrabe, Klaus - In: Journal of Informetrics 8 (2014) 4, pp. 880-889

We apply the test of Ijiri and Simon (1974) to a large data set of authors in economics. This test has been used by Tol (2009, 2013a) to identify a (within-author) Matthew effect for authors based on citations. We show that the test is quite sensitive to its underlying assumptions and identifies...
