> # For example, Paper A is written by Author B and Author C, when this paper was published in year 2000, Author B is affiliated with Organization 1, and Author B was affiliated with Organization 2, provided such information was presented in the paper full text or meta data. Now Author A is affiliated with Organization 3, and Author B is with Organization 4. Our algorithm constructs the following relationship:
> # Paper A is related to Organization 1, 2, 3, and 4.
> # Therefore, all citations to Paper A will be contributed to all 4 organizations.
This seems rather ridiculous to me. So if I have 100 publications with at least 5 citations each at some unknown school, then I go to Stanford, all of a sudden Stanford gets 500 extra citations?
Also, I saw no mention about citation filtering. It's not uncommon for small communities to (intentionally or unintentionally) game these kinds of systems by publishing lots of low-quality papers and citing each other a lot. In fact, I didn't even see any mention about filtering out self-citations, which is absolutely necessary.
- xinsigma 16y agoit's easy to remove self-citation, but it's hard (and unfair) to detect and remove citations in the case you mentioned "a small community ... publishing lots of low-quality papers and citing each other a lot. "
