A sample space of the number of publications in polymer chemistry over a five year period has been subjected to time series data analysis. The technique uses autocorrelation and a subsequent FFT (fast Fourier transform). The analysis shows that the sample space is small but the data appears to have chaotic behaviour. Recomnendations for future work and applications are identified.
| 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). | 0 | |
| 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 |
