Pedro Domingos: citation counts that don't divide by author count are unserious

Pedro Domingos argues that any citation counting scheme failing to divide each citation by the number of authors is unserious. Computer scientist Daniel Lemire responded by sharing his own C-Score, a metric computed with per-author-normalized citations, backing the idea. The exchange highlights long-standing criticism that h-index-style metrics inflate credit for large-team papers.
