Top Recent Research Items by Number of Citations, Weighted by Recursive Impact Factors and Discounted by Citation Age

What this page is about

A recent research item is defined as a research item whose last version was published less than five years ago, and whose first version was published less that ten years before the last version. This list weighs each citation by the impact factor of the citing items, this impact factor being itself computed recursively in the same fashion. The recursive impact factors are normalized so that the average citations has a weight of 1. This list provides a discounted impact factor, wherein each citation is divided by its age in years (one for the current year). Thus, in 2007, a citation from an article in 2004 counts for 0.25.

These computations are experimental and based on the citation analysis provided by the CitEc project, which uses data from items listed in RePEc.
