Abstract
Purpose: This paper aims to propose a new method of quantifying the scientific impact based on the Eigenfactor. Materials and Methods: We propose four scores, all based on a common parameter, called Emp: (1) article median score (AEmp) computed by summing the Emps for all articles published by a researcher, (2) AEmp Main, which only includes the articles published as a main author by a specific researcher, (3) article weighted median score (BEmp), which is obtained by summing the Emp values of the journals in which the author has published, divided by the number of authors, and (4) citation weighted median score (CEmp) , calculated by summing the Emp values of the journals in which the articles of the researcher were cited. We give t two calculation examples, for the Medicine, Legal, and Anatomy & Morphology ISI categories.
