Scilit with the Integrated Impact Indicator Assessment

In this study, we systematically elucidate the background and functionality of the Scilit database and evaluate the feasibility and advantages of the comprehensive impact metrics I3 and I3/N, introduced within the Scilit framework. Using a matched dataset of 17,816 journals, we conduct a comparative analysis of Scilit I3/N, Journal Impact Factor, and CiteScore for 2023 and 2024, covering descriptive statistics and distributional characteristics from both disciplinary and publisher perspectives. The comparison reveals that the Scilit I3 and I3/N framework significantly outperforms traditional mean-based metrics in terms of coverage, methodological robustness, and disciplinary fairness. It provides a more accurate, diagnosable, and responsible solution for interdisciplinary journal impact assessment. Our research serves as a "getting started guide" for Scilit, offering scholars, librarians, and academic publishers in the fields of bibliometrics or scientometrics a valuable perspective for exploring I3 and I3/N within an inclusive database. This enables a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of disciplinary development and scientific progress. We advocate for piloting and validating this method in broader evaluation contexts to foster a more precise and diverse representation of scientific progress.

FGP: Feature-Gradient-Prune for Efficient Convolutional Layer Pruning

To reduce computational overhead while maintaining model performance, model pruning techniques have been proposed. Among these, structured pruning, which removes entire convolutional channels or layers, significantly enhances computational efficiency and is compatible with hardware acceleration. However, existing pruning methods that rely solely on image features or gradients often result in the retention of redundant channels, negatively impacting inference efficiency. To address this issue, this paper introduces a novel pruning method called Feature-Gradient Pruning (FGP). This approach integrates both feature-based and gradient-based information to more effectively evaluate the importance of channels across various target classes, enabling a more accurate identification of channels that are critical to model performance. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method improves both model compactness and practicality while maintaining stable performance. Experiments conducted across multiple tasks and datasets show that FGP significantly reduces computational costs and minimizes accuracy loss compared to existing methods, highlighting its effectiveness in optimizing pruning outcomes.
