Properties of a percentile‐based rating scale needed in bibliometrics are formulated. Based on these properties, P100 was recently introduced as a new citation‐rank approach (Bornmann, Leydesdorff, & Wang, 2013). In this paper, we conceptualize P100 and propose an improvement which we call P100'. Advantages and disadvantages of citation‐rank indicators are noted.
