39. INDIVIDUAL LEVELRESEARCH EVALUATION See personalized metrics using Web of Science citation data View accurate publication list due to unique author identification
For each paper, InCites calculates two numbers: the actual citations received and the expected citations. The expected citations are defined as the mean number of citations received by all Web of Science papers published in the same subject field, the same year and are the same document type, e.g. Review or Article. Then for each author, we calculate the total number of actual citations received and divide it by the total number of expected citations. This is what we term the Category Actual versus Expected Cites, or CXC for short.Now we really can make a valid comparison between the biologists and the economists.
