Abstract
|
|
|
|
| In this contribution the authors investigate the evolution of inequality among received citations for articles published in the same journal. We study the slope - increasing or decreasing - of the Gini coefficient of a journal's citations over a period of 30 years. As a result we find that for most journals this slope is increasing, pointing to an increased inequality among citations, but this increase itself is not necessarily decreasing. The journals Nature and Science show, surprisingly, a different behaviour. As a limitation we point out that we only investigated one publication year (1985) and selected journals belonging to just a few fields. |
