Article-level metrics

Part of a series on
Citation metrics

Article-level metrics are citation metrics which measure the usage and impact of individual scholarly articles. The most common article-level citation metric is the number of citations.[1] Field-weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) by Scopus divides the total citations by the average number of citations for an article in the scientific field.[2]

Alternative article-level metrics include the CD index, a measure of the disruptiveness of an article.[3][4]
