    Abstract

    Some integrated models for ranking scientific publications together with authors and journals are presented and analyzed. The models rely on certain adiacency matrices obtained from the relations of citation,authorship and publication, which concurr to forming a suitable irreducible stochastic matrix whose Perron vector provides the ranking. Some perturbation theorems concerning the Perron vector of nonnegative irreducible matrices are proved. These theoretical results provide a validation of the consistency and effectiveness of our models. Several paradigmatic examples are reported together with some results obtained on a real set of data.
