# Impact scores # Impact indicators
<span className="todo">TODO - add intro</span>
This page summarises all calculated impact indicators, which are included into the [measure](/data-model/entities/other#measure) property.
It should be noted that the impact indicators are being calculated both on the level of the research output as well on the level of distinct DOIs.
Below we explain their main intuition, the way they are calculated, and their most important limitations, in an attempt help avoiding common pitfalls and misuses.

This is the most widely used scientific impact indicator, which sums all citations received by each article. The citation count of a ***Short description:***

where $A$ is the adjacency matrix of the network (i.e., $A_{i,j}=1$ when paper $j$ cites paper $i$, while $A_{i,j}=0$ otherwise).
