Abstract

A new simple bibliometric indicator is based on the number of highly cited papers (as defined by WoS<superscript>®</superscript>). It can be used to assess individuals, journals and universities. Unlike most other citation-based-indicators it equalizes the chances of young scientists (vs. their more experienced colleagues) and of scientists working in less-popular disciplines. The ranking of scientists based on the new indicator is not correlated with the rankings based upon the number of citations or on the Hirsch-index. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
