However, the data and methods are not available for this study (due to citation of non-existent web pages), it is not clear that more than one biological replicate was tested, and the iron sources were acquired from a range of species.
As Scopus does not have an equivalent Cited Reference Search function it was not possible to determine the unlinked citations due to cited reference variants in this database.
Countries publishing less than 30 articles might distort representative results due disproportionately high citation rates.
We excluded 434 citations due to concentration on bone remodeling with an abnormal situation like compromised patients or with localized problems as maxillofacial patients or not focus on the process of ridge progression under different restorations.
Furtado decided to include him because she and Nash are both from Victoria, British Columbia, and due to frequent citations of basketballers in songs, she decided to "give him the props".
This measure allows us to make a fair comparison between articles that may not have finished accumulating citations due to their recency, and to account for differences in size and publication cycle for different disciplines [15].
For example, a large, high-quality, clinically important trial would naturally receive many citations due to its medical relevance; meanwhile, its investigators may be more inclined to share its data than they would be for a smaller trial-perhaps due greater resources or confidence in the results.
Finally, data entry is very time-consuming due to the citations.
Seven discrete studies, represented by 24 citations due to multiple publication, met the inclusion criteria.
We excluded 19 citations due to the following reasons: not a study (n = 8), multiple reasons for exclusion (i.e. more than one inclusion criteria not met; n = 2), irrelevant study design (n = 4), mixed population and separate outcome data not available (n = 4), and irrelevant intervention (n = 1).
