Is network meta-analysis as valid as standard pairwise meta-analysis? It all depends on the distribution of effect modifiers
Jansen, Jeroen P.; Naci, Huseyin - London School of Economics (LSE) - 2013

Do Article Influence scores overestimate the citation impact of social science journals in subfields that are related to higher-impact natural science disciplines?
Walters, William H. - In: Journal of Informetrics 8 (2014) 2, pp. 421-430
Unlike Impact Factors (IF), Article Influence (AI) scores assign greater weight to citations that appear in highly cited journals. The natural sciences tend to have higher citation rates than the social sciences. We might therefore expect that relative to IF, AI overestimates the citation impact...
