Using choquet integrals for evaluating citation indices in journal ranking
conference contribution
posted on 2009-01-01, 00:00 authored by Gleb BeliakovGleb Beliakov, Simon JamesSimon JamesThe use of citation-based indices to evaluate the quality of journals is becoming increasingly widespread. Recently, ISI Web of Knowledge has begun to include three new indices in their journal statistics, including a 5-year impact factor. Here, we continue our earlier research which modeled the behavior of journal assessors based on some of these indices and the Choquet integral. We interpret the obtained fuzzy measures of many new datasets toward understanding the importance of these newly published indices and how indicative they may be of a journal's quality. The problem is one of ordinal classification, and the values of the best-fitting fuzzy measures can be obtained using the FMtools software package.
