Title

Non-indexed literature citedness

Abstract

Discusses citation counting measurements, and provides a qualitative analysis of citation analysis (also known as scientometrics or informetrics). Critically evaluates citation indexes, drawing on 2 major investigations carried out by the author. Explains the importance of the phenomenon of non-indexed citedness, and highlights some serious limitations of citation indexes as a basis for measuring the scientific literature and hence making judgements about the respective merits of individual scientists
