How to avoid the ‘Jesus multiplying bread and fish’ myth and ‘Münchausen baron bootstrap’ legend in individual bibliometric indices: a simple bimedian method applied to Italian ASPA academic members

Figures & data

Table 1. Medians, the first (Q1) and third (Q3) quartiles of bibliometric indices and index ratios calculated for a single academic position and for all ASPA academic members.

Figure 1. ASPA scientific community divided by the scientific disciplinary sector (S.D.S.). Scatterplot of the number of papers published by each member plotted against total citations (Cit. tot (1), on the left) and H(1) (on the right) indices and the relative position to medians (red scattered lines).

Table 2. Pearson correlations between some of the bibliometric indices and index ratios calculated for all ASPA academic members.

Scatterplot of the number of papers published by each member plotted against mean author per paper (co_aut_paper, on the left) and % of total citations exclude self-citations (%self_cit_aut(3), on the right) indices and the relative position to medians (red scattered lines).
