Abstract
It is widely
accepted that academic papers are rarely cited or even read. But what
kind of data lies behind these assertions? Dahlia Remler takes a look at
the academic research on citation practices and finds that whilst it is
clear citation rates are low, much confusion remains over precise
figures and methods for determining accurate citation analysis. In her
investigation, Remler wonders whether academics are able to answer these
key questions. But expert evaluation has indeed correctly discredited
the overblown claim resulting from embellished journalism.
