A comparison of articles assumes that we can assign each to one or more article sets that are characterized by averages (medians) taken over the given set. IN fact, the existence of such homogeneous article groups is an unspoken axiom in scientometrics: It is widely assumed that all scientific articles can be assigned to thematically homogeneous groups of articles.
