Topic-specific impact indicators

Popularity: This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network.
Influence: This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Citation Count: This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically).
Impulse: This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network.
