Revisiting the determinants of citation counts in scientific publication

Author(s)

Seyed Reza Mirnezami, Catherine Beaudry


Abstract

Using a rich data set integrating information about researchers' funding
and publication in the province of Quebec, this paper intends to
identify the main determinants of their citation count. Using two-stage
least squares to control for endogeneity, the results confirm the
significant relationship between the number of articles and citation
counts. Our results also show that scientists with more articles in
higher impact factor journals generally receive more citations. In terms
of research team structure, the team size has a positive impact on the
number of citations. Hence the greater visibility provided by a more
prolific scientific production, better journals, and more co-authors,
all contribute to increasing the perceived impact of articles. The paper
also shows no gender bias which means that both male and female receive
the same number of citations. In most regressions for different fields
and disciplines, the amount of funding from different types does not
have a significant effect.

Abstract

This study uses citation analysis
from two citation tracking databases, Google Scholar (GS) and ISI Web of
Science, in order to test the correlation between them and examine the
effect of the number of paper versions on citations. The data were
retrieved from the Essential Science Indicators and Google Scholar for
101 highly cited papers from Malaysia in the field of engineering. An
equation for estimating the citation in ISI based on Google scholar is
offered. The results show a significant and positive relationship
between both citation in Google Scholar and ISI Web of Science with the
number of versions. This relationship is higher between versions and ISI
citations (r = 0.395, p<0.01) than between versions and Google
Scholar citations (r = 0.315, p<0.01). Free access to data provided
by Google Scholar and the correlation to get ISI citation which is
costly, allow more transparency in tenure reviews, funding agency and
other science policy, to count citations and analyze scholars'
performance more precisely.

Abstract

Measuring the number of papers which
are published each year, publication productivity is the factor which
shows the reputation of universities and countries. However, the effect
of growing economy and using internet on the publication productivity in
Asian countries has not been discovered yet. The present research is
going to figure out the publication productivity among the elite
universities in Asian countries and also ten top universities around the
world in the last twenty years (from 1993 to 2012). Furthermore, the
current research is aimed to study the relationship among publication,
gross domestic product (GDP) and internet usage. It is worth to mention
that the publication of the top Ten Malaysian Universities was regarded
for the similar period of time. To get the exact numbers of documents
like papers, conference articles, review papers and letters which are
published by the universities in the last twenty years, the writer of
the same paper used the Science Direct database. Moreover, the data for
GDP and the number of internet usage was collected through the World
Bank database (World Data Bank).To compare all kinds of
publications,one-way ANOVAwas used and to investigate the impact of
economic growth and internet usageon publication productivity, multiple
regression analysis was applied.The results showed that therate of
publication growth was 1.9, 20.9, and 65.5 % in top universities in the
world, ASEAN countries and Malaysia, respectively.The results also
showed thatthere was a positive and significant correlationbetween GDP
and the number of internet users with the number of publications in
ASEAN and Malaysian universities. Internet usagehad much more influence
in comparison withthe GDP in predicting the number of publicationsamong
these groups except for top ten Malaysian universities from 2003 to
2012. In summary, publication trends in top ten Malaysian and ASEAN
universities are promising. However, policy makers and science
managersshouldspend much more percentage of their GDP on Internet
facilities and research studies that their outputs lead to more rapid
economic growthand internet usage.
