This paper analyzes the effects of the co-authorship and bibliographic coupling networks on the citations received by scientific articles. It expands prior research that limited its focus on the position of co-authors and incorporates the effects of the use of knowledge sources within articles: references. By creating a network on the basis of shared references, we propose a way to understand w...

This study investigates a range of metrics available when a nanoscience and nanotechnology article is published to see which metrics more correlate with the number of citations to the article. It also introduces the degree of internationality of journals and references as new metrics for this purpose. The journal impact factor, the impact of references, the internationality of authors, journals...

We examined the correlations between an article’s citation count (as an indicator of the article’s quality) and different impact measures regarding the article’s references (as indicators of the quality of the authors’ information seeking while producing the article). Two research questions of interest were studied. First, do authors’ information seeking and use affect the quality of their rese...

Mike Thelwall, Nabeil Maflahi This article introduces a new source of evidence of the value of medical-related research: citations from clinical guidelines. These give evidence that research findings have been used to inform the day-to-day practice of medical staff. In order to identify whether citations from guidelines can give different information from that of traditional citation counts, th...

UNLABELLED Previous studies of scientific communication used citation mapping, establishing psychology as a 'hub science' from which many other fields draw information. Within psychology, the clinical and counselling discipline is a major 'knowledge broker'. This study analyzed scientific communication among three major subdisciplines of clinical psychology-the cognitive-behavioural, psychodyna...
