Abstract

Various efforts have been made to quantify scientific impact and identify the mechanisms that influence its future evolution. The first step is the identification of what constitutes scholarly impact and how it is measured. In this direction, various approaches focus on future citation count or h-index prediction at author or publication level, on fitting the distribution of citation accumulation or accurately identifying award winners, upcoming hot research topics or academic rising stars. A plethora of features have been contemplated as possible influential factors and assorted machine-learning methodologies have been adopted to ensure timely and accurate estimations. Here, we provide an overview of the field challenges, as well as a taxonomy of the existing approaches to identify the open issues that are yet to be addressed.
