Credit allocation of each author of a multiauthor paper has been a long standing concern. Regarding to the fact that the credit of each citing paper is not equal and the total credit of paper fades with time, in this paper, we introduce the PageRank algorithm and time parameter, and present an improved dynamic credit allocation method, namely IDCA method. By investigating the effect of the damping factor d of PageRank algorithm and the time...
