The Field-weighted citation impact (FWCI) is an indicator of citation impact of a publication based on the actual number of citations received by an article compared to the expected number of citations for articles of the same document type (article, review or conference proceeding paper), publication year and subject field.
A ratio above 1.0 indicates that women produced publications that, on average, had a higher impact than men's publications whereas a score below 1.0 means the opposite.
Only active authors are included in the calculation of the ratio. Active authors are defined as those who either (1) produced 10 or more papers in the last 20 years (2000-2019) and at least one paper in the last five years or (2) produced four or more papers in last five years.
