Citations
CSDMS is providing the number of citations per publication as given by Google scholar (https://scholar.google.com) since August 2015. Several times a year, the number of citations will be updated. Sometimes you won't find the number of citations next to the publication. This is as some publications couldn’t be found in google scholar, or the publications are so recent that no citations are provided yet. Please, let us know (CSMDSweb@colorado.edu) if you think we made a mistake by assigning a wrong number of citations to a certain publication or if you can help locating a paper in google scholar for us.
As you might notice, the number of citations is actual a link. It will bring you to a list of publications on the google scholar page that has cited the specific publication.
Citation indices
CSDMS is the first to provide citation indices for each individual model. These indices are estimated similar like citation indices that are around for authors. The model citation indices are based on two classes of publications: a module overview publication, describing a module and a module application description where a model is applied to a study. So publications describing module related theory are not part of these estimations. Indices will be updated every 24hours. The following indices are estimated:
- Citations
- h-index
The citations indicate the total citations a model has received. The h-index is named after the physicist Jorge Hirsch and is also called the Hirsch number. The h-index as implemented at CSDMS reflects the use (or penetration of a model within a community) and its impact (how often a publication about the model is cited). More information about the h-index can be found at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-index.
