indifference
Properties
- Metric Type: Basic Statistic
- Publication Focus: All Publications
- Citation Focus: All Citations
Description
This metric is simply the total number of publications divided by the number of total number of citations (Egghe and Rousseau 1996); it was originally proposed to evaluate journals but can be applied to individuals as well. The larger this value, the more indifferent the community is to the author's work. This metric is also just the inverse of mean citations per publication.
