About key indicators

Key indicators summarise the report’s central metrics. All values are calculated from the underlying dataset and refer to the full period unless otherwise stated. Percentages (peer-reviewed, Open Access, international collaboration) are calculated as a share of total publications per year.

Percentage change is not shown when the base value is below 10 units, as small base values produce statistically unstable percentages (Hicks et al. (2015), principle 8; cf. CDC rule for n < 16). Absolute values are shown instead.

Journal articles in 2025 had an average field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) of 4.38, based on 1272 publications with citation data. FWCI = 1.0 corresponds to the world average.
31% of journal articles ranked in the top 10% most cited in their field (395 of 1272 with data).

Missing match in the Channel Register (HK-dir). Common causes: missing ISSN in source data, channels outside the register, conference series, or recently launched journals. Lack of classification does not necessarily mean the journal lacks peer review.

FWCI (Field-Weighted Citation Impact) shows mean citation impact normalised by subject, publication type, and year. Values ≥ 1.0 indicate citations at or above the world average. FWCI is shown when at least 10 articles in the journal have data. Top 10% shows the share of articles in the top 10% most cited in their field — shown when at least 5 articles have percentile data. Median citations (hidden column) shows raw citation counts without field normalisation — not comparable across subject areas.

Publications by NPI level

The Norwegian Publication Indicator (NPI), also known as the Norwegian list, classifies publication channels into two levels. Level 2 (top ~20% per field) is considered the most prestigious channels. Level 1 covers other approved channels.

Method and limitations
Data source
DiVA
Time period
2016–2025
Counting method
NPI level (1 or 2) is retrieved from the Norwegian Channel Register (HK-dir) via ISSN/ISBN matching. Publications without a match are assigned level X.
Limitations
  • The channel register does not cover all scientific publishing. Publications outside the channel list lack an NPI level and are counted as level X.
  • Level-based indicators should be interpreted contextually and not used as the sole quality measure. Hicks et al. (2015)
  • NPI classification is sourced from the Norwegian channel register (HK-dir) and does not cover all scientific publishing. Publications outside the channel list have no NPI level.
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.

Insights 2025

In 2025, 35% were published in Level 2 channels, in line with the period average (32%). Compared to 2024, the share increased by 3 percentage points. Notably, 46% of publications lacked NPI classification.

Limitations
  • Volume measures count publications, not pages published or contribution size.
  • Conference papers may be underrepresented in the source database, particularly for older periods and certain disciplines.
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.
  • NPI classification is sourced from the Norwegian channel register (HK-dir) and does not cover all scientific publishing. Publications outside the channel list have no NPI level.
DORA

DORA mode is enabled for this report. Bifrost evaluates the report against the principles of DORA (2012) and CoARA (2022).

The report contains elements that are not compatible with DORA principle 1: “Do not use journal-based metrics as a surrogate measure of the quality of individual research articles.”

NPI level classification (Level 1/2) is shown in the report. NPI is a Nordic classification system that ranks publication channels by academic standing, i.e. a channel-based ranking that DORA advises against using as a quality surrogate. The classification is presented here as descriptive information about publication patterns, not as a measure of individual article quality.

Collaboration
Co-authorship

Network structure (clusters, clustering, centrality) is based on the full period 2016–2025. Collaboration volumes and basic metrics are also shown for focus year 2025.

Insights
294 research groups of roughly equal size; no single cluster dominates. Each researcher collaborates with an average of 8.9 others (a densely connected network). 4587 researchers serve as prominent bridges connecting different research groups. Clear cluster structure (Modularity 0.98); researchers primarily work within their own group. The network is sparse: only 0.1% of all researcher pairs have a direct collaboration link.

Insights 2025

In 2025, 82.5% of publications were co-authored (period average 78.8%). Average 6.2 co-authors per article (5.2 across the period). 51903 new collaboration links appeared (pairs that had not collaborated during the previous 3 years). Publications with international collaboration had the highest citation impact (FWCI 6.89, n=34), compared to single author (FWCI 3.75, n=271).

Methodology

Each node represents a researcher and each link a co-authorship. Colors indicate research groups (clusters) identified via modularity analysis. Node size reflects number of publications.

The co-authorship network is built from co-authored publications. Each node represents a researcher, and each edge is weighted by number of joint publications. Edge weights are normalized using association strength Van Eck et al. (2009) before clustering with the Louvain algorithm. Centrality measures: degree (number of collaborators), collaboration intensity (total co-authoring frequency), and bridge score (weighted betweenness using inverse weights) Newman (2004). Network density measures the proportion of realized vs. possible collaborations. Terminology: «Collaborators (avg)» = mean degree; «Clustering» = modularity Blondel et al. (2008).

Degree distribution
Summary

Percentages are calculated on pairs where both authors have country data (109256 classified of 144511 total, coverage 76%). Of which 64 pairs where both authors lack institutional affiliation, 34775 pairs where the institution could not be mapped to a country, and 416 pairs where one side lacks data.

Individual network statistics

‘Co-authored texts’ indicates the number of texts the author has written together with one or more co-authors.

Network statistics show central nodes in the collaboration network. Degree is the number of direct collaborations, while betweenness shows which authors act as bridges between different groups.

Insights 2025

Emerging networkers: Aboltins, Craig; Clark, Ben; Roth, Dan (+529) (researchers with no publications during the previous 3 years but at least 2 co-authored publications in the focus year). Broadest collaborators: Halfvarson, Jonas (433); Parodis, Ioannis (405); Larsson, Henrik (277); Unemo, Magnus (234); Blomström-Lundqvist, Carina (160) (most unique co-authors in the focus year (at least 2 publications, at least 5 unique)). Most productive pairs: Larsson, Henrik & Lichtenstein, Paul (27); Kuja-Halkola, Ralf & Larsson, Henrik (25); Chang, Zheng & Larsson, Henrik (22); Kuja-Halkola, Ralf & Lichtenstein, Paul (22); Brikell, Isabell & Larsson, Henrik (19).

The table covers the full period 2016–2025.

Most common co-authorships

The first co-author listed is the one the author has written with the most times. ‘Number’ indicates the number of co-authored texts with the author. Up to four additional co-authors are listed, in descending order of co-authorship.

The table covers the full period 2016–2025.

Network of co-authors

Below is a visualization of the 294 different groupings in the dataset. The colors indicate different groups.

The network shows 9423 of 33981 co-authors: those who share at least 2 publication with another.

Why are not all co-authors shown?

A co-author is only included in the network once they have co-authored at least 2 publication with another. Pairs who meet in only a single publication are therefore excluded. The threshold dampens noise so recurring collaborations stand out more clearly.

Publications with more than 25 authors are excluded when building the network. These are typically meta-studies, systematic reviews, and large consortium articles where the full author list is printed. Letting them in would connect nearly everyone to nearly everyone else.

Because the network is large, weak links have also been dropped via backbone filtering (9423 nodes, 42071 edges in the original graph). The groups above are computed on the filtered, sparser network.

Adaptive visualization (large): 9423 nodes / 42071 edges → 2288 nodes / 4309 edges after filtering.

The visualization was restored to the unfiltered source network: the adaptive filters would otherwise have reduced it below the threshold for a meaningful display.

Author names to the right; group ID to the left. You can see the size of the groups and the most common keywords of the groups in the tables that follow. A combination of search and sorting can be used to further explore group membership.

Group size
Citation impact per research cluster

The chart compares the field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) for the co-authorship clusters identified through network analysis. Each publication is assigned to the cluster where most of its authors belong. FWCI = 1.0 corresponds to the world average. n is the number of publications in the cluster (shown on hover).

Group keywords

The table is limited to a) groups with more than 3 members; b) groups with at least one keyword in any publication; c) the ten most used keywords per group.

Counting method
Full counting — each publication counted as one unit
Limitations
  • A link in the network means two researchers share at least one publication in the selection; link strength indicates the number of co-authored works. Informal collaborations and unpublished projects are not visible.
  • Short time periods or small research groups produce sparse networks. Isolated nodes indicate researchers with few registered collaborations in the selection, not absence of collaboration in general.
  • Pairs sharing fewer than 2 publications are not included in the network (makeCoauthorMinPubs).
  • Publications with more than 25 authors are excluded from the co-authorship analysis (makeMaxAuthorsPerPub).
  • For networks exceeding 200 nodes or 500 edges, adaptive edge reduction is applied to the visualization (disparity filter, Serrano et al. (2009), or quantile threshold depending on size). Network statistics (centrality, cluster membership) are always computed on the full graph.
  • Whole counting: each shared publication contributes weight 1 per pair. To give each publication equal total weight regardless of author count, enable makeFractionalCounting = TRUE (per-publication 1/(N−1) weighting following Perianes-Rodriguez et al. 2016). Perianes-Rodriguez et al. (2016)
  • Association strength: AS(i,j) = w_ij / (k_i × k_j / 2m). The normalization reduces dominance of high-degree nodes. Van Eck et al. (2009)
  • Degree indicates the number of unique collaboration partners (network topology). Strength indicates total co-publication intensity (edge weights). A researcher with high Degree but low Strength has many shallow collaborations; conversely, high Strength with low Degree indicates few but intensive collaborations. Opsahl et al. (2010)
  • Cluster colors are based on co-publication patterns, not organizational affiliation. A cluster’s composite research groups may cross organizational boundaries.
  • Data character classified as large. Backbone filter, node cap, and cluster targets adjusted automatically.
  • Parameters: backbone α = 0.10, min. co-publications = 2, node cap = 120.
  • Leiden clustering: resolution parameter γ = 1.20 (deviates from default 1.0; calibrated for current corpus size).
  • Quality gates triggered and adjusted parameters: QG3_too_many_clusters; QG4_fragmented; QG3_too_many_clusters; QG4_fragmented; QG3_too_many_clusters; QG4_fragmented.
  • International collaboration filter configured but not applied in this version (FM4 support requires per-author country data, planned for a future release).
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.
Bibliometric network visualizations complement, rather than replace, expert judgment. Van Eck et al. (2014)
Supervisor and opponent network

Unlike the co-authorship analysis, which maps collaboration through joint publications, this section reveals the academic networks that emerge through dissertation supervision and opposition. Supervisors and opponents active at multiple institutions form informal knowledge bridges between organizations — relationships rarely captured by traditional bibliometric measures but which can reveal important patterns in academic knowledge transfer.

Insights
436 researchers have supervised or opposed across institutional boundaries. Strongest connection: Karolinska Institutet – Örebro University (Connection strength: 52). Based on 81.6% of dissertations with identifiable supervisors.

Method description

The supervisor/opponent network is separate from the international collaboration map. The map is based on co-authorship between author affiliations, while supervisor/opponent relations are shown in the network below.

The network is based on supervisor and opponent relationships extracted from SwePub records. Connection strength is calculated as (number of supervisions × 2) + (number of oppositions × 1). The weighting (2:1) is a Bifrost convention reflecting that supervision is a longer and deeper collaborative relationship than opposition. The method lacks established bibliometric practice; it was developed specifically for Bifrost.

The supervisor:opponent weighting (2:1) is a Bifrost convention to reflect the supervisor’s greater role in the dissertation process. This is not established bibliometric practice.

Limitations
  • The count shows co-author affiliation appearances, not unique publications. A publication with three co-authors from the same institution counts three times.
  • Institution names have been harmonised against an internal name list. Unmatched variants are shown separately or excluded.
  • A total of 1748 entries in the raw data were excluded from the table: 87 country/city names (geographic entities, not institutions), 991 manually verified non-institutions (known_unmapped), 698 departments, faculties or centres (pattern-based filter). This is why the institution count may differ from the number of unique affiliations in the source data.

Insights
Medical and Health Sciences dominates (47 %). Subject breadth is stable (2016–2025, H: 1.28 → 1.19). Research is markedly interdisciplinary — it combines taxonomically distant subject areas. Rao-Stirling: 0.835 (where 0 = single discipline, 1 = maximum diversity). Based on 6 HSV main areas (Swedish classification). Rao-Stirling (Stirling, 2007)

Method: diversity indices

Shannon H (evenness index) measures how evenly publications are distributed across subject areas. A value of 1.00 means perfect evenness; lower values indicate dominance by individual areas. Rao-Stirling measures interdisciplinarity by weighing both the distribution and the taxonomic distance between subject areas according to the Swedish classification system. The scale ranges from 0 (all publications in one subject) to 1 (maximum spread across distant subject areas).

Limitations
  • Explore which subject categories are represented in the dataset. Note that publications usually have several categories. Therefore, it is the rule, not the exception, that the percentages together constitute more than 100%. If x is 100% and y is 15%, it means that all publications have been categorized as x, and of them, 15% have also been categorized as y
  • A publication classified under multiple subjects is counted in each category. The sum therefore exceeds the publication count — this is correct, not an error.
  • Classification may vary in precision across institutions and periods. Comparisons should be made with caution.
  • The Rao-Stirling index is computed at portfolio level (subject code shares across the entire dataset), not as a mean of per-publication RS. Absolute RS values are not directly comparable to benchmarks based on per-article calculations or other classification systems.

Method and limitations
Data source

Time period
2016–2025
Counting method
Burst detection uses an automaton model implemented via the bursts package. The method identifies periods of statistically significant increased occurrence of individual keywords. Kleinberg (2003)
Limitations
  • Burst detection requires at least 5–10 years of data for reliable results. Short time series may produce unstable or misleading burst periods.
  • Keywords are a mix of author-assigned and automatically generated terms. Indexing consistency varies across sources and time periods.
  • English keywords often dominate. Publications in Swedish or other languages are therefore often underrepresented in frequency analyses.
  • Keywords occurring in more than 70% of all publications are automatically excluded to prevent generic terms from dominating the analysis.
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.
Keyword co-occurrence (2016–2025)

The heatmap shows how often keywords co-occur in the same publications. Association strength Van Eck et al. (2009) normalizes co-occurrence by the product of the individual keyword frequencies. Red asterisks () in the upper-right corner of cells mark statistically significant co-occurrences (p < 0.05).

The heatmap shows co-occurrence strength for all pairwise combinations of the most frequent keywords, including weak relations. It is a complete N×N matrix. The keyword network below complements this view: it shows cluster structure through backbone filtering that hides weak edges to emphasize strong patterns — the two visualizations measure the same thing but illuminate different aspects.

Method and limitations
Data source
DiVA
Time period
2016–2025
Counting method
Co-occurrence matrix strength is computed using association strength: c_ij / (s_i × s_j / 2m), where s is document frequency and m is the sum of pairwise co-occurrences. Van Eck et al. (2009)
Limitations
  • Association strength is normalized following Van Eck & Waltman (2009): AS(i,j) = c_ij / (c_i × c_j / 2m), where c_ij is the document frequency for the pair, c_i and c_j are the document frequencies for the individual keywords, and m is the sum of co-occurrences over unique pairs (upper triangle of the co-occurrence matrix). Van Eck et al. (2009)
  • Co-occurrence is counted per document (whole counting). Fractional counting is not applied at the keyword level — a deliberate choice because the keywords are controlled terms (SwePub) or extracted concepts (OpenAlex), not free-text author names.
  • The heatmap displays the 15 most frequent keywords (ranked by document frequency). Keywords below the minimum frequency threshold are excluded. The count can be adjusted in the report configuration.
  • Statistical significance testing uses the hypergeometric distribution at the pair level. No correction for multiple testing is applied — the analysis is exploratory, not confirmatory.
  • The heatmap remains readable up to top_n ≤ 25. For larger datasets — see also the keyword network.
  • The heatmap color scale is clipped at the 95th percentile of observed association strengths. Association strength with 2m rescaling is mathematically unbounded: rare keyword pairs with low individual document frequencies can produce extreme values that otherwise dominate the scale and render other cells invisible. Actual maximum values are shown in the top-pairs table.
  • Graph-based visualizations degrade for large networks (Van Eck & Waltman, 2014, pp. 288–289). The heatmap is designed for top-N pairs; the network graph uses backbone filtering to handle larger networks. Van Eck et al. (2014)
  • Keywords are a mix of author-assigned and automatically generated terms. Indexing consistency varies across sources and time periods.
  • English keywords often dominate. Publications in Swedish or other languages are therefore often underrepresented in frequency analyses.
  • Keywords occurring in more than 70% of all publications are automatically excluded to prevent generic terms from dominating the analysis.
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.
Network diagram, keywords

Keywords that frequently co-occur in the same publications form thematic clusters. The table below summarizes the clusters; the interactive graph shows the relationships visually.

The network shows cluster structure and network position: backbone filtering retains statistically significant edges and hides weak relations to emphasize strong patterns. The co-occurrence heatmap above complements this view: it shows the full N×N matrix for the most frequent keywords, including weak pairs not visible in the network.

The network diagram is based on all publications in the period 2016–2025 (insufficient data for focus year only).

The network diagram shows how keywords relate to each other based on co-occurrence in publications. Larger nodes mean more frequent keywords. Lines show co-occurrence. Colors indicate thematic clusters identified using the Leiden algorithm (Traag et al., 2019).

Co-occurrence matrix strength is computed using association strength: c_ij / (s_i × s_j / 2m), where s is document frequency and m is the sum of pairwise co-occurrences. Van Eck et al. (2009)
Limitations
  • Adaptive filtering (scale: large): backbone α=0.05, min co-occurrence=3. Nodes 40→22, edges 86→16, density=0.069.
  • The SDSM filter tests each keyword pair against a stochastic null model that controls for both keyword frequency and the number of keywords per publication. Edges that do not deviate significantly are removed. Neal (2022)
  • Clusters are detected using the Leiden algorithm Traag et al. (2019), which identifies thematic groups where keywords co-occur more strongly within the group than between groups.
  • The network is limited to the most frequent keywords (top N). Rare keywords are excluded, which may hide emerging topics.
  • Filter parameters are selected by corpus size. Small corpora (< 50 publications or < 20 unique keywords) get no backbone filter. Medium (50–299 publications with 20–149 keywords) use backbone α=0.15 and 60 keywords. Large (≥ 300 publications or, at ≥ 50 publications, ≥ 150 keywords) use α=0.05 and 40 keywords. As an exception, small publication sets with rich vocabulary (< 50 publications but ≥ 150 keywords — typically OpenAlex individual reports) use the medium operating point rather than large, because the aggressive filter otherwise fragments the network. Thresholds are empirical operating points and can be overridden per report.
  • Graph-based layouts degrade for large networks (Van Eck et al., 2014). Above 200 nodes, visual clarity depends on backbone filtering and node reduction. Statistics (centrality, cluster membership) are always computed on the complete graph.
  • The number of keywords in the network is adapted to the material: roughly 30 % of the unique keywords are included, with a floor of 60 and a ceiling of 250. Of these, roughly 65 % (at least 30, at most 70 nodes) are shown initially to keep the graph readable. The remaining keywords can be added via the slider below the graph. These limits prevent both sparse and overloaded networks.
  • Keywords are a mix of author-assigned and automatically generated terms. Indexing consistency varies across sources and time periods.
  • Keywords in Swedish and English are mixed without separation. Lemmatization is not applied: ‘learning’ and ‘learners’ are treated as separate keywords. This is a deliberate choice for controlled terms, not a deficiency — but it affects the concentration around English-language concepts.
  • Data reflects publishing activity retrieved from DiVA and may differ from the institution’s internal statistics.

Word Frequency Trends

Trends are based on the full period 2016–2025. Focus year breakthroughs and changes are shown at the end of this section.

These trends are indicative and complement the keyword analysis above.

Methodological note: Word frequency analysis is based on individual words extracted from title, abstract, and keywords. Unlike author-selected keywords, individual words can be noisier and more ambiguous — for example, the word ‘system’ may appear in both technical and social science contexts, while the keyword ‘adaptive systems’ is more precise. Stricter thresholds are used (minimum 10 occurrences, correlation > 0.5) and academic stopwords are excluded.

Rising/declining shows trends over time (Spearman correlation). New/disappearing shows lifecycle — when words started or stopped being used.

No statistically significant trends were identified among the most common words.

Citation data are cumulative totals retrieved from OpenAlex — they show how many times each publication has been cited since it was published. Publications from more recent years have had less time to accumulate citations, which should be considered when comparing across years. The citation analysis covers the entire period, not just the focus year — unlike other sections.

On comparability:
Field-normalized percentiles from OpenAlex (normalized by year, work type, and subfield). 2025 publications (11%) are from the last 2 years and may have understated percentiles.

Self-citation
Citation counts in this report include both external citations and self-citations. The self-citation share may be substantial for individuals and small datasets. See the method card below for details. Hicks et al. (2015)

About FWCI (citation impact)

FWCI (Field-Weighted Citation Impact) measures how much a publication has been cited compared to what is expected for that type of research, publication year, and subject field, internationally. FWCI = 1.0 is the expected value: the typical number of citations for similar publications globally. Below 1.0 means fewer citations than expected; 1.5 means 50% more; 2.0 means twice as many. Normalisation by field is necessary because citation cultures differ markedly. Medicine cites far more frequently than mathematics, making direct comparisons misleading. Data comes from OpenAlex. Note that a few highly cited publications can pull the figure up substantially, and the measure requires sufficient coverage (at least 10 publications with citation data).

About PP(top 10%), citation impact

PP(top 10%) measures the share of a group’s publications that rank among the top 10% most cited in their subject field and publication year, internationally. The reference value is 10%: if a group published at a perfectly average level, exactly 10% would fall into the top bracket. Above 10% means a larger share than expected achieves high citation impact; below 10% means the opposite. The measure is field-normalised, meaning each publication is compared with others in the same field and year. This avoids the problem that, for example, medical research is generally cited more than mathematics. Data comes from OpenAlex. Note that small datasets can produce large random fluctuations, and recently published articles often lack sufficient citation history for a fair ranking.

Citation coverage:
Citation data was retrieved for 65% of publications in the dataset (11684 of 17854). Citation indicators are based on this subset.

Citations show how often other researchers reference these publications in their own work. High citation counts indicate that the research has had impact within its field.

Complementary metrics

FWCI (Field-Weighted Citation Impact) is the ratio of actual to expected citations, normalised by year, work type, and subject field (OpenAlex subfield). FWCI = 1.0 means the publications are cited in line with the world average for their field. Unlike percentile measures, FWCI is sensitive to individual highly cited publications — two units with the same PP(top 10%%) may differ in FWCI if one has a few very highly cited works.

Mean FWCI: 4.59

Stability intervals (BCa bootstrap)

The stability interval (95%) indicates the likely range of values if the publication set were to change. Computed via BCa bootstrap (bias-corrected and accelerated) at the publication level with 2,000 replicates. Terminology and confidence level follow the CWTS Leiden Ranking; the BCa variant (rather than simple percentile bootstrap) is methodologically stronger. Not shown when the underlying data are too sparse (FWCI: n < 10; PP(top 10%) and PP(top 1%): n < 30) or when percentile coverage is low (< 50%). Waltman et al. (2012), DiCiccio et al. (1996)

FWCI: 4.59 (uncertainty interval 4.27–5.10)

Top 10%: 37.9 % (uncertainty interval 37.1 %–38.8 %)

Top 1%: 5.59 % (uncertainty interval 5.18 %–6.03 %)

Citation profile — percentile distribution over time

The chart shows the proportion of publications in different citation percentile bands per year, based on field-normalized percentiles from OpenAlex. Publications from the most recent 2 years are excluded due to incomplete citation accumulation.

Citation impact by collaboration type

The chart compares citation impact for publications with international collaboration, domestic collaboration, and single-author publications. International collaboration is defined as publications with authors from more than one country.

Citation distribution by year

The boxplot shows the distribution of field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) per publication year. The dashed line marks the world average (1.0). Publications from the most recent 2 years are excluded.

Insights
17854 publications have a total of 351 728 citations (median 2.0/publication, avg 19.7/publication). 42.3 % are uncited. Most cited (13536 cit): Vos, Theo;Dalal, Koustuv;Murray, Christopher J. L (2017). Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 328 diseases and injuries for 195 countries, 1990-2016 : a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016. The Lancet. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(17)32154-2 The field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) averages 4.61 (based on 10111 publications). The trend is decreasing.

Citations over time: most cited publications

The chart shows how citations are distributed across publication years. Note that older publications have had more time to accumulate citations.

Grey bars mark publications from the last two years, whose citation data are incomplete — they have not had time to accumulate citations to the same extent as older publications.

Citation impact per researcher over time

The chart shows the field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) for the most cited researchers, with a three-year rolling average. The dashed line marks the world average (FWCI = 1.0). Includes researchers with at least 5 publications spanning at least 3 years.

Limitations
  • Median is used as the primary central tendency measure because citation distributions are heavily skewed. Mean is shown as supplementary context.
  • Recent publications have had less time to accumulate citations (fallow period effect). Lower counts for recent publications are expected and do not indicate lower quality.
  • Field normalization uses OpenAlex percentiles, calculated against year, work type, and OpenAlex algorithmic subject classification (~250 subfields). This classification is not identical to HSV/UKÄ or OECD FoS — it is based on automated clustering, not manual classification. Percentiles are therefore not directly comparable with the subject distribution in other sections of the report.
  • OpenAlex coverage varies across fields. Humanities and national journals are underrepresented, which may affect percentile values.
  • OpenAlex percentiles are recalculated continuously. Values may change retroactively when the database is updated.
  • Full counting is used: each publication is counted once regardless of the number of co-authors. For units with high collaboration rates, this may yield higher citation figures than fractional counting. Fractional counting is not feasible with available API data.
  • Self-citations are not separated — citation counts include both external and self-citations. For small datasets, the self-citation share may be substantial. Reporting self-citations separately is highlighted as good practice in Leiden Manifesto principle 9 on open and contextualised indicator use. Exclusion requires each citing work to be checked against the publication’s authors — a separate analysis step not implemented in the current pipeline. Hicks et al. (2015); Waltman et al. (2019)
  • Citation counts are not time-adjusted: older publications have had more time to accumulate citations. Direct comparison of citation counts across publication years should be interpreted with caution. Adams (2018)
  • Citation-based time series are Type 1 (diachronous): more recent publication years have shorter citation windows, creating a structural decline at the end of the series — not necessarily a real change. Adams (2018)
  • The indicators in this section are citizen bibliometrics — suitable for internal comparisons within the same field but not for cross-disciplinary comparisons without field normalization. Bornmann et al. (2018)
