Publication and Citation-based Impact

I have been collecting data on citations of my own work for a number of years and once wrote a guide to the concepts for biologists (rather than for those better versed in bibliometrics and scientometrics) (put on PeerJ Preprint Server, 2014-08-26). I have expanded the collection of metrics beyond those described in the paper and have now created a separate webpage for every metric, including a basic explanation, a worked example (in many cases), and a year-by-year history of that metric based on my own publication record.

The code for calculating all of these metrics can be found on Github.

Citation data used for calculating all examples extracted from Google Scholar on 2024-11-19.
