Pinski's citation based measures of research interactivity and the application of a complex structure measure to journal systems

Abstract

The supposition for Pinski's measures of research interactivity is a size reduced form of a citation matrix, which makes it possible to compare journals of different sizes. A futher development of the measures of research interactivity can be achieved by using a complex structure measure. In addition to the relative scope of citations, which is taken into consideration by Pinski's measures, the distributions of these values on the elements of the matrix are involved in calculating new measures of interactivity whose content is different from that of Pinski's measures.
