17. Predicting Impact
● Eigenfactor (EF) originally developed to assess journal importance.
● Extended to article-level (ALEF)
● Meta calculates an EF value
for every node in the graph
Bergstrom (2007); West el al (2010); Wesley-Smith, West, Bergstrom (2016)
18. Our approach: Predict the impact for new papers
● Problem: recent papers have zero/few citation edges so EF=0 but our users engage
almost exclusively with these new (uncited) papers
● Solution: infer an Eigenfactor value for recent papers
○ ML model trained on prior publications citations at 3 years
○ Validated on withheld dataset
● Predicted Eigenfactor (EFP) calculated on all new papers
○ EFP values used to rank/sort papers in feeds
○ EFP replaced with proper EF over time as citations begin to accrue
19. Meta: next steps
● Meta pubic launch: soon!
● We would love feedback & suggestions!
● Please come curate & share your own feeds!
● How can we partner with the community?
