Statistical rating and ranking of scientific journals

Participants : Gilles Celeux, Julie Josse, Jean-Louis Foulley.

In collaboration with Jean-Louis Foulley (Montpellier University), Gilles Celeux and Julie Josse have done research on the statistical rating and ranking of scientific journals. They have proposed Dirichlet multinomial Bayesian models for pagerank-type algorithms allowing self-citations to be excluded. The resulting methods were tested on a set of 47 scientific journals.
