- Acknowledgment index
An acknowledgment index is an experimental method for analyzing the
scientific literature ; it quantifies the acknowledgments in scientific journals. Typically, such an article has a section where the authors acknowledge funding, technical staff, and colleagues that have contributed materials or knowledge. Like thecitation index it measures influences on scientific work, but in a different sense; it measures institutional and economic influences as well as informal influences of individual people.Unlikeimpact factor , it does not produce a single overall metric, but analyses the components separately.References
