Abstract
Academic communities and familiarity may cause citation bias in research work, while indicators in citation analysis cannot detect and avoid these biases, which decrease fairness in academic evaluation. Therefore, we propose a new model: C^2 index, which integrates citation analysis with collaboration network analysis, in order to distinguish within and cross-community citations, and highlight citations from high-impact authors. C^2 index evaluates an author's academic impact in a community-aware and a comprehensive citation network. Experiment on real datasets shows that C^2 index outperforms h index and degree centrality in academic evaluation and ranking precision.
