We calculated the disruption index for some example papers. The analyses of the index values (using our <em>Web of Science</em> in-house database) show that they depend on the citation window (the period of time over which citations are collected).</p>}, number={2}, journal={Profesional de la informaciĆ³n / Information Professional}, author={Bornmann, Lutz and Tekles, Alexander}, year={2019}, month={mar.} }
