Abstract

To this day the analysis of citations has been aimed mainly to the exploration of different ways to count them, such as the total count, the h-index or the s-index, in order to quantify a researcher's overall contribution and impact. In this work we show how the consideration of the structured metadata that accompany citations, such as the publication outlet in which they have appeared, can lead to a considerably more insightful understanding of the ways in which a researcher has impacted the work of others.
