Abstract (EN): This paper analyses the citation profiles (CP) of 130 researchers in fractional calculus. In a first phase, the Canberra distance is used to measure the similarities between the researchers' CP, and the multidimensional scaling technique (MDS) is adopted for processing and visualizing the information. In a second phase, the gamma probability distribution is used to fit the normalized CP and the gamma parameters are used to characterize the researchers. The MDS results and the gamma distribution parameters are represented graphically in 2- and 3-dimensional locus depicting the relative positions of the researchers.
