LLM-Metrics: Measuring Research Impact Through Large Language Model Memory

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2605.22176v1 Announce Type: new Citation counts remain the dominant metric for assessing research impact, yet they suffer from well-documented limitations: temporal lag, disciplinary bias, and Matthew effects. Here we propose LLM-Metrics, a research-impact assessment metric derived from the parametric memory of large language models (LLMs). The central hypothesis is that high-impact papers receive greater exposure in the academic community, that this exposure enters
