Title
Citation data as a proxy for quality or scientific influence are at best PAC (probably approximately correct)
Abstract
In this communication I give a brief introduction to Valiant's probably approximately correct PAC theory, provide an extension that goes beyond Valiant's ideas and beyond the domain for which this theory was meant, and come to an interpretation in terms of research evaluation. As such, PAC provides a framework for a theory of research evaluation.
