| Abstract: | A significant portion of scientometrics research involves studies of relative citation rates to groups of citable items. This
paper examines the relative citation rates to own-language as compared to foreign language materials. A simple probabilistic
model of citation behavior is defined, which suggests a natural measure of relative citation rate. Unlike earlier indicators,
our measure is independent of the size of the base population. |
