Abstract: Abstract In a recent paper in Scientometrics, Gagolewski et al. (2022) elaborated on a 3DSI model (3 dimensions of scientific impact) using a triplet of primary indicators (N, the number of papers for an author’s productivity, C, the number of citations for overall impact, and ρ for the shape of the citation distribution). The 3DSI model is an agent-based model (Siudem et al. in Proc Natl Acad Sci 117:13896–13900, 2020, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2001064117 ), which assumes that citations are distributed according to a mixture of the rich-get-richer rule and sheer chance.
