Total Pubs: Total publications that could be matched in the citation database.
Pubs Per Year: Publications per year, starting from the year of the earliest publication.
Cites Per Year: Citations per full calendar year after publication, through the end of our records. The displayed values are the maximum, the mean, the standard error of the mean (SEM), and the median (MED) of the papers in the group. For example, a paper published in June 2012 with 30 citations by the end of 2014 would have 30 citations / 2 full calender years (2013 and 2014) = 15 cites/years.
Relative Citation Ratio (RCR): Relative Citation Ratio represents a citation-based measure of scientific influence of one or more articles. RCR represents the field- and time-normalized citation rate, and is benchmarked to 1.0 for a typical (median) NIH-funded paper in the corresponding year of publication. Fields are defined for each article by using its co-citation network. This benchmarking process ensures that a paper with an RCR of 1.0 has received the same number of cites/year as the median NIH-funded paper in its field, while a paper with an RCR of 2.0 has received twice as many cites/year as the median NIH-funded paper in its field. The displayed values are the max, the mean, the standard error of the mean (SEM), and the median (MED) of the papers in the group.
Weighted RCR: This is the sum of the RCRs for the articles in the group. This weights the article count by their influence relative to NIH-funded papers. A highly influential set of articles will have a higher weighted RCR than Total Pubs, while a set of articles with below-average influence will have a lower Weighted RCR than Total Pubs.
