Since it is significant for us to ensure the accuracy and authenticity of citation data, there are only two parts of the citation page that can be edited. You can edit the top highly cited academic fields by clicking the pencil on the right side of the column. The second part that you can edit is the global citation distribution map. You can manually add countries or institutions who cited your publications and the ones are added manually will show in yellow.

Impactio constantly collects publication and citation data from diverse online sources and analyzes it for you to present your research impact!

The definition of independent citations is excluding the self citing paper which means internal references while total citations numbers count all citations.

G-Index is calculated this way: "[Given a set of articles] ranked in decreasing order of the number of citations that they received, the G-Index is the (unique) largest number such that the top g articles received (together) at least g^2 citations."

Citation Metrics

It reveals a researcher’s independent and total citation counts. We are also including average citations per publications and G-Index in past 5 years. In addition, Impactio also lists citation counts in each field of study to broadly display a researcher’s impact in specific research areas.

Citation by Year Graph

The chart effectively illustrates a researcher’s citations by year to clearly show a researcher's research activity over the past 15 years.  You can place your cursor on a bar or a point on the line to view citations, publication, and year information. 

Highly Cited Academic Fields

The graph discloses which scientific fields a researcher excels in. It by default shows the top 5 academic fields that you received the most citations when comparing to peer papers in the same field and publication year. There are over 300 different subject categories in Impactio indicators. Researchers are allowed to choose up to 5 fields from the top 19 areas provided by Impactio to exhibit preferred research areas.

Academic Ranking

In the Academic Ranking block, researchers and scientists can acquire more detailed information about each field that cited your publications. This list includes fields of study, citation counts in a specific field and percentile which represents the ranking of a research in a field by citation counts.

Global Citation Distribution Map (GCDM)

The map is a powerful graphical representation that demonstrates your worldwide academic influence. It marks the global citing institution locations that cited your publications. You can also view all of the citing institutions and citations you received by country on the map.
