R code to simulate the expected value of a correlation between citation counts and another indicator under a series of assumptions about the connection between both and underlying research quality. 

Both distributions are assumed to follow the discretised lognormal fit to two related metric data for correlations R code and results. The user can specify the strength and nature of the relationship between research quality and each indicator.

This Figshare project also contains results from the paper.
