Title
Field-normalized citation impact indicators and the choice of an appropriate counting method.
Abstract
•We study the connection between field normalization and counting methods.•Our focus is on the choice between full and fractional counting.•We argue that full counting results are not properly field normalized.•Fractional counting does yield properly field-normalized results.•We present a large-scale empirical comparison between full and fractional counting.
