SHEEP is an algebraic system written by I. Frick [1,2] that is specialized for manipulating components of tensors. On top of this language another system has been built treating a new data type "indicial formula" representing formulas containing tensors or spinors with symbolic (letter) indices. Such formulas can be used in two ways:
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 1 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
