Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI)

This index represents 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. (Citations are only counted from the year of publication plus the following three years.)

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

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