Citation based measures of research interactivity

Abstract

Citation based measures of research interactivity are derived starting from the array of bibliographic intercitations known as the citation matrix. These measures may be applied to any publishing aggregates such as journals, fields of research or nations and are size normalized, providing size independent measures of interactivity. Interactivity measures are defined for pairs of units, for a unit within a system and for a system as a whole.
