Author Impact Beamplots

  • Visualize the citation performance of an author’s entire publication list
  • Publications performances are compared to similar records and put into percentiles (a 90% + score means the paper is among the 10% most cited in the field)
  • Adding more context than single-point metrics e.g. performance change over time

Look at authors Impact Beamplots by accessing their Author Record via the Author Search, or click any author name in a Core Collection document.

You will find a complete timeline of the Authors works (1980- ) under the “Author Impact Beamplot” tab. Hover over the elements of the beamplot to see article, citation, and percentile information and click through to see the full record.
