Interdisciplinarity as Diversity in Citation Patterns among Journals: Rao-Stirling Diversity, Relative Variety, and the Gini coefficient. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
•We modify Rao-Stirling diversity so that “balance” and “variety” are measured independently.•We test the new indicator (DIV) for the set of journals in the Journal Citation Reports.•The new indicator correlates with Betweenness Centrality significantly more than Rao-Stirling diversity.•“Dual-concept” diversity is unnecessarily confusing; the Gini index can be used for measuring “balance”.•A routine for the measurement of the various operationalizations of diversity (in any data matrix or vector) is made available online. |
