The Collaborative Category Normalized Citation Impact (Collab-CNCI) is a bibliometric indicator proposed by Clarivate's Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). It is designed to measure the citation impact of academic papers while accounting for the collaborative nature of modern research.
Collab-CNCI normalizes citation counts based on several factors:
- Publication year
- Subject category
- Document type
- Collaboration type (e.g., international, national, institutional)
This indicator aims to provide a more accurate reflection of research impact by considering the increasing trend of multi-author and multi-institution collaborations.
