Normalized Citation Impact
The Normalized Citation Impact (NCI) of a document is calculated by dividing the actual count of citing items by the expected citation rate for documents with the same document type, year of publication and subject area.
For a single paper that is only assigned to one subject area:
For a single paper that is assigned to multiple subjects:
For a group of papers, the NCI value is the average of the values for each of the papers:
