Abstract
Objective: To quantify author credits and compute the Individual Research Achievements (IRA), the most cited authors are required to present on Google Maps for comparison.Methods: By searching the PubMed database (Pubmed.com), we used the keyword “PloS One” [Journal] and downloaded 27,042 articles published in 2015. A total of 106,910 articles were cited in Pubmed Central. The Author Weighted Scheme (AWS) was applied to compute personal IRA. A visual dashboard for the most-cited authors was shown on Google Maps.Results: The author Lori Newman (Switzerland) ranks the highest Author Impact Factor (AIF=160.71 with one paper (PMID: 26646541, 2015) cited 100 times and another two cited 54 and 75 times, respectively, until 2018.Conclusion: The AWS algorithm used for quantifying author credits can be applied to other scientific disciplines in measuring author IRA in the discernable future.
