citation distribution rate index

The citation distribution rate index (Vinkler 2011, 2013) is a complement to the citation distribution score index, calculated as the percent of the maximum possible CDS index actually observed, or

$$\text{CDR}=100\frac{\text{CDS}}{\text{CDS}_\max}=100\frac{\text{CDS}}{14P}.$$
