  We propose using the technique of weighted citation to measure an article's
prestige. The technique allocates a different weight to each reference by
taking into account the impact of citing journals and citation time intervals.
Weighted citation captures prestige, whereas citation counts capture
popularity. We compare the value variances for popularity and prestige for
articles published in the Journal of the American Society for Information
Science and Technology from 1998 to 2007, and find that the majority have
comparable status.
