Non-indexed citedness

Two recent fact-finding investigations demonstrate that eponymal and indirect-collective citedness are very frequent and long-standing phenomena in the journal literature of physics, and present not indexed by Citation Indexes. In consequence of non-indexed literature citedness, the Indexes are not suitable for the measurement of real literature citedness. The meaning and value of quantified citation data of the Citation Indexes must be reduced, especially in the cases of the (mis)use of the dta for the purpose of evaluating scientists as scientists.
