Abstract

Basic publication–citation matrices are used to calculate informetric indicators such as journal impact factors or R-sequences. Transforming these publication–citation matrices clarifies the construction of other indicators. In this article, some transformations are highlighted together with some of their invariants. Such invariants offer a rigorous mathematically founded way of comparing informetric matrices before and after a transformation.
