Paper in PNAS: Three Dimensions of Scientific Impact

In a paper recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) (doi:10.1073/pnas.2001064117; joint work with Grzesiek Siudem, Basia Żogała-Siudem and Ania Cena), we consider the mechanisms behind one’s research success as measured by one’s papers’ citability. By acknowledging the perceived esteem might be a consequence not only of how valuable one’s works are but also of pure luck, we arrived at a model that can accurately recreate a citation record based on just three parameters: the number of publications, the total number of citations, and the degree of randomness in the citation patterns. As a by-product, we show that a single index will never be able to embrace the complex reality of the scientific impact. However, three of them can already provide us with a reliable summary.
