Hunting for supernovae articles in the universe of scientometrics
This short note records an unusual situation with some Google Scholar's
profiles that imply the existence of "supernovae" articles, i.e., articles
whose impact -- in terms of number of citations -- in a single year gets
(almost) an order of magnitude higher than the previous year and immediate
drops (and remains steady) to a very low level after the next year. We analyse
the issue and resolve the situation providing an answer whether there exist
supernovae articles.Comment: 2 pages, 1 figur
