Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article brings the underlying structure of different relative indicators to the forefront. Special attention is given to the relative impact of a journal within a set of journals, a so-called meta-journal. Examples of relative impact factors are calculated for a group of information science, and for a group of management journals. Advantages of relative impact indicators are highlighted. These indicators are further studied in the context of regression analysis. Finally, it is shown that, compared to the Ramirez-Garcia-Del Rio renormalized impact factor, the relative impact factor is more sensitive to changes of relative contributions of journals within a journal set.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
