Abstract EN
: Authors’ ranking can be used to determine authenticity of authors in particular domain.
Several different methods for author ranking focusing on number of publications and number of citations are proposed.
In this paper, we propose ranking algorithms for publications, conferences, journals and respective authors.
In publication ranking, both incoming and outgoing citations are considered.
In case a publication is published in a well-reputed venue (conference or journal) then it is expected to have a high number of citations.
Resultantly, due importance is given to venues and their scores are computed from popularity of their publications.
Both publications’ ranking and venue scores are used to rank authors, where authors having published in well reputed venues would have added benefits.
We used multiple features to rank publications and venue effectively.
These scores are then further used for ranking authors, instead of just using the number of citations for author ranking.
Results of comparative study show a significant improvement in author ranking due to the inclusion of proposed features.
