“…This perspective can be justified qualitatively by the observation that even high-level institutions often have publications with only a few or even no citations, e.g. those which document the outcome of intermediary working steps (Schmoch et al 2019). Due to the constant pressure to publish, however, even these results are published.…”

Nearly all distributions in bibliometrics are skewed. In particular, the distribution of citations of publications by research units is skewed. In a statistical view, the calculation of mean values can imply misleading or even wrong information. However, in citation analysis, the calculation of mean values of skewed distributions are standard. Therefore, when ranking research units, it is recommended instead to replace the calculation of standard mean values by the calculation of adjusted mean values to exclude outliers with very high citations and those with very few or no citations as well. Such an adjusted mean value is oriented on the standard activity of a research unit and results in a more adequate assessment. This approach is based on the Hirsch-index concept. The calculation results in a different ranking of research units, which may be important in cases where the distribution of finances depends on bibliometric rankings. In addition, a differentiation between standard activities and excellent results is possible, thus opening two dimensions of the assessment of research units.

“…In addition, applied research often involves very complex topics at a very high level (see, e.g. Schmoch et al 2019). Experienced bibliometricians are aware of the dierent citation levels of applied and basic articles, but most users of bibliometric assessments do not know that these dierences exist and assume that highly cited publications have a high quality independent of their applied or basic orientation.…”

By individually associating articles to basic or applied research, it is shown that basic articles are cited more frequently than applied ones. Dividing the subject categories of the Web of Science into a basic and an applied part, the mean eld-normalization rate is referred to the applied or basic part depending on the research orientation of the paper analysed. By this approach, a distinct dierence of the citations for the applied and basic parts of most subject categories is found. However, dierences of the citation scores of applied and basic research organisations are found as well, but are less clear. The explanation is that applied and basic research organisations generally publish a mix of basic and applied articles.In consequence, the standard normalization without distinction of basic and applied papers is generally sucient for the bibliometric assessment of research organisations.

“…There is a wide array of electromobility development programs in countries around the world that motivate the purchase of electric cars with varying degrees of success, for instance in [16][17][18]. Due to these programs, it is possible to observe an increasing share of electric cars in the total number of sold cars, but the same tendency cannot be expected even after their termination.…”

The article deals with the analysis of selected technical and economic aspects that influence decision making process when choosing a car with an electric drive -an electric car. Environmental friendliness is beginning to be one of the key aspects in the context of electric vehicle selection, but its final choice is still affected by the standards offered by internal combustion vehicles. In our case, the relevant standards were defined when using the results of a questionnaire survey, the criteria of scales, which are used to compare selected types of electric passenger cars in the conditions of the Czech Republic. The aim of the article is to select an appropriate electric car by using specific techniques of multi-criteria decision making -the Basic Variant method and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The scientific value of the article lies primarily in its applicability to the global environment and the variability possibilities of criteria set and their significance.
