This commentary presents a qualitative & quantitative analysis of the citation lists of these two pieces.
Finally, analysis of the citation share and certain surrogate indicators shows that the Chinese scientific community needs to work on improving its research impact.
In an attempt to shed some light on the metric, a group of researchers and journal editors released a data set and analysis of the citation counts used to calculate this magical number this week.
In an attempt to shed some light, a group of researchers and journal editors today released a data set and analysis of the citation counts used to calculate this magical number.
Correlation analysis of the citation indices shows a significant positive relationship between LCS and the global citation score (GCS), i.e., the articles that are most cited by other sample papers are comparably often cited by other publications not being part of the selected sample listed on Web of Science.
It was found from the analysis of the 444 articles that "Instructional Approaches," "Learning Environment," and "Metacognition" were the three most popular research topics, but the analysis of the citation counts suggested that the studies related to "Instructional Approaches," "Information Processing" and "Motivation" might have a greater impact on subsequent research.
(d) In our analysis of the citation impact trajectory we only included publications that were published at least 7 years before the TRWOK citation census year Y (corresponding to the data download date which was Y = 2012 for the economics journals and Y = 2009 for Nat./PNAS/Sci)./PNAS/Sci
The analysis of the citation impact of the scientific output resulted in a typical longtail distribution: the majority of journals and articles are of very low impact.
According to their recent statistical analysis, 25% of the citations are completed within 30 days of receipt, 50% within 60 days, and 75% within 90 days.
Given a key implication of missing citations may be that it contributes to bias in systematic reviews [ 4], we concluded that analysis of the missed citations might fruitfully yield further MeSH terms which could be used to improve the sensitivity of the search.
