Figure 1

Left: the scatter plot of the number of citations, k, and the Google PageRank number, g, for each paper (black dots). The gray solid line represents the average value, 〈g〉, which is calculated for bins of the logarithmically equal width against k. Right: the scatter plot of CitationRank (the ranking of the number of citations), rk, and PageRank, rg, for each paper (black dots). The gray solid line represents the standard line rg = rk.
