Citation Data for 54 Researchers Across Three Countries and Disciplines

Scopus citation data for 54 researchers from engineering, medicine, and social sciences in the United States, China, and Australia supports the development of new bibliometric indicators. The dataset, authored by Mohamd Laimon and last updated in May 2026, is used to analyze the he-index and a volume-normalized efficiency metric. It includes a subset with field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) for external validation of the proposed metrics.

Use Cases

• Evaluating the relationship between publication volume and citation concentration based on the he-index.
• Testing volume-normalized efficiency metrics for cross-volume comparisons of researchers.
• Analyzing disciplinary and career-stage differences in citation impact patterns.
• Validating new bibliometric indicators against established metrics like field-weighted citation impact (FWCI).

Strengths

• Includes data for 54 researchers across three major countries and three broad disciplines.
• Provides a subset with field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) for external validation.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is very small at 124.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
