• Each citation is weighted by its simple impact factor.
• Different versions of the same work published in different series or journals are counted only once, the version with the highest impact factor being considered.
• The score of each work is divided by the number of authors.
• Self-Citations are excluded.
• Authors are attributed equally and proportionally to each institution they claimed to be affiliated with.
• Only institutions listed in EDIRC are counted.
