How Does the Eigenfactor Score Compare to Other Metrics?
Traditional metrics like the Impact Factor focus solely on the number of citations, without considering the source of those citations. This can sometimes lead to misleading results, as a journal could have a high number of citations from low-quality sources. In contrast, the Eigenfactor Score provides a more nuanced view by incorporating the quality of citations. It is often considered a more holistic measure of a journal's influence.
