Підсумок	The Eigenfactor Score and its per-article companion, the Article Influence Score, rank scholarly journals by treating the citation network as a system in which a citation from a prestigious journal counts for more than a citation from an obscure one. Carl Bergstrom introduced the Eigenfactor in 2007 using the same recursive idea behind Google's PageRank: a journal is important if it is cited by other important journals. The score is computed as the stationary distribution of a random walk over the journal-to-journal citation matrix, so it captures not just how often a journal is cited but where those citations come from. The Eigenfactor measures a journal's total influence and therefore scales with size; dividing by the journal's share of articles yields the Article Influence Score, a per-paper measure comparable to a normalized impact factor. West, Bergstrom and Bergstrom set out the full network methodology in 2010.	Percentile-based citation impact replaces the average citation count with a paper's rank position within a properly defined reference set. Instead of asking how many citations a paper received, it asks where the paper falls in the citation distribution of comparable papers from the same field, year, and document type. Because citation distributions are extremely skewed, a single highly cited paper can inflate a mean, so Lutz Bornmann and Loet Leydesdorff argued that impact should be measured non-parametrically through percentile ranks and the share of papers reaching the top of their field. The most widely used summary is PPtop10%, the proportion of a unit's papers that belong to the most-cited 10% of their reference set; Leydesdorff and Bornmann's Integrated Impact Indicator (I3) generalizes this idea by integrating the full percentile curve. Ludo Waltman and Michael Schreiber clarified how percentile ranks should be computed when many papers share the same citation count.
