Area of Science:

  • Bibliometrics
  • Scientific Publishing
  • Research Evaluation

Context:

  • Academic and professional evaluations heavily rely on publication assessment.
  • Current methods for measuring intrinsic publication quality are lacking.
  • Fairness in evaluating scientific output remains a challenge.

Purpose:

  • To propose a novel scoring system for assessing the intrinsic quality of scientific publications.
  • To integrate multiple bibliometric variables into a comprehensive evaluation framework.
  • To address limitations of existing assessment methods, such as excessive reliance on impact factor.

Summary:

  • The proposed system combines article length, biomedical database inclusion, journal impact factor, and 2-year citation counts.
  • Articles are categorized into 20 types, with scores adjusted based on variable combinations.

  • The system mitigates the overemphasis on extreme impact factors and accounts for variations across different scientific fields.

    • Impact:

    • Provides a more equitable and quantitative method for evaluating scientific contributions.
    • Reduces administrative burden and workload for assessment committees.
    • Facilitates objective comparison of candidates based on their top-performing articles.
