In the six years since, the annual citation rate has fallen by half, to about six.
If we are to maintain the citation rate of our leading researchers, to commercialise the fruits of their research more quickly and to continue punching above our weight in publishing, then we need to take a global lead.
For this review, article citation rate was chosen.
The article with the highest citation rate investigated the use of texture analysis in PET images.
The citation rate of papers is declining because researchers can't devote enough attention to each paper, CNET reports.
This would therefore potentially increase the citation rate as a matter of course, not necessarily reflecting higher importance.
One of these topics, texture analysis, is the subject of the article with the highest citation rate [47].
The citation rate of papers with a Chinese address for the corresponding author also exhibits exponential growth.
A 2010 study, for instance, suggests that longer titles lead to a higher citation rate, but it only reviewed a sample of 50 papers published in medical journals.
In general, annual citation rate appeared to gradually increase during the first 2 3 years after publication before reaching high levels.
We attempted to adjust for this by calculating a citation rate, which may provide information regarding the importance and potential influence that the research has.
