Abstract

Despite the vital role of paper publication and citation in higher
education institutions (HEIs), literature on publication exercises is
relatively scarce. There are a number of factors which influence the
rate of university publications and citations. Accordingly, with a focus
on policy perspectives, this paper discusses publication exercises by
addressing the factors that can increase or decrease the rate of
publication and citation in HEIs. The investigated zones are divided
into two macro and micro levels, in which macro level deals with global
policy and micro level is related to local and university policies. The
effective factors and their relevant criteria are traced in all the
aforementioned policies.
