    I came here with the same question but now I realize that if I ask it I will only get replies explaining me what Z-score is and not Z-score of what. So I will just assume it is sth akin to h-index. Still does not make much sense to me as to why average h-index papers “don’t survive” (i.e get rejected because no one is interested lets say) where as negative ones do.
