Analyzing the Science Footprint of Richard P. Baum
摘要
Determining the scientific footprint of a given author is not easy, as many bibliometric metrics exist and none can capture the full extent to which someone has fed the field with knowledge and changed the course of science. Using existing databases (Web of Science and iCite from the National Institute of Health), we tried to capture the impact of the work of Richard P. Baum over the last four decades. His works led to over 11,000 citations in the literature with highly cited articles, even when using the latest more valid practice of comparing the relative citation ratio that captures the scientific productivity independent of the field of study.
