(InCites)

Category Normalized Citation Impact (CNCI)

This metric reflects the number of times a set of (or a single) articles is cited, divided by the average number of citations for articles published in the same year, within the same academic field, and of the same document type, resulting in a normalized indicator.

• CNCI value = 1: Performance is equal to the global average.
• CNCI value > 1: Performance is above the global average.
• CNCI value < 1: Performance is below the global average.

For example, a CNCI of 1.39 indicates that the citation impact is 39% higher than the global average.
