Effective Strategies for Increasing Citation Frequency
Abstract and Figures
Due to the effect of citation impact on The Higher Education (THE) world university ranking system, most of the researchers are looking for some helpful techniques to increase their citation record. This paper by reviewing the relevant articles extracts 33 different ways for increasing the citations possibilities. The results show that the article visibility has tended to receive more download and citations. This is probably the first study to collect over 30 different ways to improve the citation record. Further study is needed to explore and expand these techniques in specific fields of study in order to make the results more precisely.

... Research e-visibility, as a concept incorporates themes such as the researcher's online presence, the research output of the researcher, the researcher's discoverability and accessibility of the researcher's research output (Adriaanse & Rensleigh 2017a). The researcher's online presence is encapsulated in the inclusive research profile with accurate, relevant, and related information about the researcher for wider online audiences (Ale-Ebrahim et al. 2013;Arda 2012;Chung & Park 2012;Hoffman, Lutz & Meckel 2014). These online research profiles allow for increased research discoverability and research output accessibility with increased downloads (Ale-Ebrahim et al. 2013;Norman 2012), where researcher discoverability translates to the relative ease at which other researchers can discover a researcher and their research via the various online platforms (Norman 2012). ...

Research accessibility implies that research output available online on these platforms, allows for increased retrievability and downloadability for citing and translates to research being accessible (Czerniewicz & Wiens 2013;Norman 2012). ...
... For instance, h-index indicates an author's citation credit (Rahardja et al., 2019), while impact factor is a similar indicator for journals. The world university ranking systems use exclusive criteria for research and citation (Ebrahim et al., 2013). In ...
... This shows that India has a great potential to grow in citation impact by adopting proper strategies. Thus, in addition to improving the scholarly publishing trend, the need for focused efforts and techniques to enhance the citation impact (Ebrahim et al., 2013) is quite obvious, as demonstrated by the top performers. ...
Research publications and their citation impact have been a topic of extensive studies in the recent past. In the current highly competitive environment, universities are struggling to maintain and enhance their research productivity and citations. This article presents the summary of a secondary analysis of the Elsevier-Stanford University list of the global 2% most-cited scientists released so far. The data regarding the career-long category were sorted according to the number of authors, affiliated university, and the country. Subsequently, the countries were ranked based on the total number of authors in each year from 2017 to 2020, and the top 100 countries were further analyzed to see their annual progress. The analysis shows that countries with clear, focused, and strategic approaches towards promoting collaborative research and open access to research data and publications could succeed in producing highly cited scientists.
... Yet, a key reason is the accessibility of citational information (Bollmann and Elliott, 2020). If citation details are consistent and easily accessible, citations are generally higher (Ale Ebrahim et al., 2013;Bollmann and Elliott, 2020). Long review processes and publication timelines can slow scientific progress and hinder researchers from proposing state-of-the-art techniques. ...
... The importance of a paper can usually be measured by two metrics: citation frequency and centrality. The more frequently an article is cited, the higher its recognition in the research field and the greater its contribution to promoting research progress is (Ale Ebrahim et al., 2013;Yoshikane, 2013). Centrality, the ratio of the shortest path between two nodes to the sum of all shortest paths, can identify potential key nodes quantifiably (Freeman, 2002;Chen, 2006). ...
In recent decades, more and more studies have been conducted on source appointment of heavy metals, since they can accumulate in the food chain and have a negative impact on the ecological environment and human health. However, almost never before had scholars tried to make a comprehensive and methodical review in this field from the scientometric and bibliometric perspective. The purpose of this review is to offer insights into the research topics and trend evaluation in terms of source appointment of heavy metals over time using the visualization and analysis software, CiteSpace. We retrieved a total of 2,533 articles from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) dated between 1994 and 2022, and analysed the progress, hotspots, and trends in this field by synthesized networks of cooperation analysis, co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis, and keywords burst analysis. The overall development of the topic can be divided into four periods, and the rapid development began from 2010. Environmental Sciences was the leading subject category, and the journal Science of the Total Environment had the highest number of publications (9.51%), which was most cited as well (2,390 times). China published the most articles in this field, in which Chinese Academy of Sciences was the leading institution. Said Muhammad and Xinwei Lu were the top two most productive authors. According to citation frequency, Hakanson L was the movers and shakers. Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis results showed that “the health risk assessment,” “lake sediments”, “trace elements,” “positive matrix factorization,” “air pollution,” “road dust,” and “megacity” are likely to be hotspots. The “particulate matter,” “China,” “sediments” and “road dust” demonstrated the research tendencies of this domain by keyword burst analysis.
... In the realm of scientific literature, the inclusion of a list of key phrases serves as a crucial attribute, offering a concise representation of a text's contents. Key phrases play a pivotal role in enhancing a paper's visibility and citation count, making their qualitative selection a significant aspect [2,17]. Within the scientific literature domain, the incorporation of a list of key phrases holds pivotal significance, providing a succinct portrayal of a text's content. ...
In our study on text summarization, we have introduced a sophisticated neural network architecture, employing a sequence-to-sequence model with embedding’s, Long Short-Term Memory units, and attention mechanisms. The primary goal is to effectively capture intricate patterns and dependencies within sequential data. To enhance versatility, we have implemented a dual-input configuration to handle fixed and variable-length sequences, with embedding layers transforming input sequences into dense vectors, capturing semantic relationships. Our strategic placement of LSTM units addresses the challenge of handling input sequences of different lengths by incorporating sequential processing capabilities. The concatenation layer integrates both inherent sequential patterns and dynamically attended features. The final time-distributed layer produces sequences with a rich 1989-dimensional output space, reflecting the complexity of information our model aims to capture. Throughout the training process over multiple epochs, we observed decreasing trends in both training and validation losses. Early stopping at epoch 19, triggered by an increase in validation loss after epoch 17, marked the successful conclusion. At this point, we achieved the lowest training loss of 1.7070, showcasing the model's ability to learn underlying patterns. Our proposed model's success in minimizing the disparity between predicted and actual key phrases, coupled with careful consideration of crucial parameters, positions it as a promising approach for key phrase generation.
... As a result, many other articles referred to this article. Commonly, the most referred articles proved good quality viewed on their substantive and publishing qualities [46], [47]. At this point, Hines published an article about English communication about accounting in the Journal of Accounting, Organization, and Society published by Elsevier [48]. ...
This study scientometrically mapped the investigative trends in English for accounting (EA) research articles. The corpus was 181 research articles in EA from 1981 to 2021. They were retrieved from metadata dimensions of various leading journals and analyzed with automated bibliometric analysis. The findings revealed that the investigative themes in EA remain burgeoning for 41 years. The accounting history journal indicated the greatest impact on EA research. The analyzed journals reported a large impact correlating to their development. The most productive author in the EA research was Jones. The typical words frequently emerging in the analyzed research articles were accounting, research, and English. The investigative and developing topics related to EA were relatively dynamic. This study suggests that the scientometric investigative perspective offers a systematic, diachronic, and quantitative outline of English for accounting research by considering its meta-disciplinary knowledge and evolving trends over the years.
We present CiteAssist, a system to automate the generation of BibTeX entries for preprints, streamlining the process of bibliographic annotation. Our system extracts metadata, such as author names, titles, publication dates, and keywords, to create standardized annotations within the document. CiteAssist automatically attaches the BibTeX citation to the end of a PDF and links it on the first page of the document so other researchers gain immediate access to the correct citation of the article. This method promotes platform flexibility by ensuring that annotations remain accessible regardless of the repository used to publish or access the preprint. The annotations remain available even if the preprint is viewed externally to CiteAssist. Additionally, the system adds relevant related papers based on extracted keywords to the preprint, providing researchers with additional publications besides those in related work for further reading. Researchers can enhance their preprints organization and reference management workflows through a free and publicly available web interface.
There are studies on whether there may be a relationship between academic citation and web visibility. The purpose of this study was to more accurate about this relationship. Search Engine Optimization is the technique for receiving high visibility in the web environment. Academic SEO, due to the impact of open science, is extending. The uniform resource locators of the 80 open-access journals indexed on Elsevier that had two benchmarks, Cite-Score, and Impact-Factor were analyzed. For extraction of SEO-Scores of websites of these mentioned journals, used Seobility automatic analytical tool (October 2022). The data analysis tools were SPSS version 22 and Excel software. There was no significant correlation between the Google SEO ranks of websites of the open access journals and their Cite-Scores. In addition, between their Impact Factors, and SEO scores, no relationship was seen by the Spearman correlation test. Therefore, most of the citations are based on deep knowledge rather than web visibility, most probably. In other words, this current article indicates that the deep web, or what scientists do not see on the first pages of their results when they search and retrieve and cite, but on the next pages, seen and then have cited to them, is still important. This result does not contradict studies that show a correlation between citation and visibility. But, only suggests the existence of many factors in the citation of academic articles other than their open-access state, such as the deep web and citing academic celebrities.
Introduction: The Koomesh Journal, a pioneering and influential medical research publication in Iran, has been active since 2006. This study aims to offer a comprehensive overview of the journal's publication structure from 2006 to 2022 using bibliometric analysis.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted with a bibliometric approach. The study population consists of 1238 documents published in the Koomesh Journal. The bibliographic data of these documents were extracted from the Scopus database, and various bibliometric techniques and tools, such as Excel 365, SPSS 26, VOS Viewer, CorTex, and Biblioshiny, were extracted to examine trends and significant topics such as the journal's publication and citation structure, highly cited articles, authors, institutions, and countries.
Results: Koomesh experienced fluctuations in productivity and impact before declining. Semnan University of Medical Sciences and Iran were the institutions and countries with the highest participation rates, respectively. Raheb Ghorbani emerged as the most influential and prolific author. The article "Estimation of natural age of menopause in Iranian women: A meta-analysis study" received the most citations. A considerable degree of co-authorship existed among the journal's top authors, with the most collaboration occurring between Iran and Sweden and, in terms of cities, Tehran and Semnan. The terms Iran, sports, and anxiety were the most prevalent and significant. The most discussion was on precision medicine and COVID-19.
Conclusion: This study has provided an overview of the publication structure of Koomesh Journal during the years 2006 to 2022. This study may be useful for the editorial board of the journal, because it provides numerous and useful information for the progress and continuation of the work.

This paper evaluates citations performance of 1101 Indian physics research papers published in 29 high impact physics journals in 1997. The evaluation is based on citations won by these papers within six years of publication. The purpose is to verify to what extent research evaluation based on journal impact factor can be considered objective and fair. The study finds that journal impact factor is not a surrogate to citations. Nearly 12% of papers in high impact journals did win even a single citation within six years of their publication. Secondly papers winning high range of citations per paper were published in a wide range of impact factor journals. The conclusion is that although impact factor is not a guarantee to citations but publication in high impact journals does improve the probability of winning citations. The higher the impact factor the greater their citations probability. The nationally and internationally collaborated papers have greater chances of winning high citations than the non-collaborative ones. http://dx.doi.org/10.14429/dbit.25.3.3654
Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the driving engine behind economic growth. While SMEs play a critical role in generating employment and supporting trade, they face numerous challenges, the prominent among them are the need to respond to fasting time-to-market, low-cost and rapid solutions to complex organizational problems. Towards that end, research and development (R & D) aspect deserves particular attention to promote and facilitate the operations of SMEs. Virtual R & D team could be a viable option. However, literature shows that virtual R & D teaming in SMEs is still at its infancy. This article provides a comprehensive literature review on different aspects of virtual R & D teams collected from the reputed publications. The purpose of the state-of-the-art literature review is to provide an overview on the structure and dynamics of R & D collaboration in SMEs. Specifying the foundation and importance of virtual teams, the relationship between virtual R & D team and SMEs has been examined. It concludes with the identification of the gaps in the existing literatures and calls for future research. It is argued that setting-up an infrastructure for virtual R & D team in SMEs still requires a large amount of engineering efforts and deserves consideration at top level management.
Highly cited articles are very different from ‘ordinary’ cited articles. Typically, they are authored by a large number of
scientists, often involving international collaboration. The majority of the papers represent regular journal articles (81%),
although review articles (12%) are over-represented compared to the national average. The citation curves of highly cited
papers follow a typical pattern of rise and decline. However, different types of citation curves can be identified, reflecting
possible differences in the cognitive function of the articles. Highly cited papers typically obtain citations from a large
number of different journals and from papers representing both close and remote fields. However, this pattern is not very
different from the average distribution for all papers. We discuss how the findings can be explained by introducing a conceptual
distinction between quality dynamics and visibility dynamics.
Journal impact factor (IF) as a gauge of influence and impact of a particular
journal comparing with other journals in the same area of research, reports the
mean number of citations to the published articles in particular journal.
Although, IF attracts more attention and being used more frequently than other
measures, it has been subjected to criticisms, which overcome the advantages of
IF. Critically, extensive use of IF may result in destroying editorial and
researchers behaviour, which could compromise the quality of scientific
articles. Therefore, it is the time of the timeliness and importance of a new
invention of journal ranking techniques beyond the journal impact factor.
Using a database that contains over 19,000 law review articles published in top 100 law reviews between 1990 and 2010, we demonstrate that team authors dominate solo authors in the production of legal knowledge. Team research is on average more frequently cited than individual research, and teams are more likely than individuals to produce exceptionally high impact research. These results suggest that a legal research culture that encourages cooperation and collaboration could foster an intellectual connectedness helpful to improving the quality of knowledge production by legal academics.
In this paper, we report the results of a bibliometric study in which we track cross-disciplinary citation behavior in the sciences. We hypothesize that cross-disciplinary citation in the sciences increased over the time period 1985-2000. Unlike most previous studies in this area, we assign discipline to a paper by its first author's affiliation, and we hypothesize that assigning papers to disciplines based on first-author affiliation would yield results consistent with previous findings on cross-disciplinary citation rates in the sciences. Using the output of scientists in Biological Sciences, Chemistry, and Physics departments at 12 large research universities in 1985, 1990, 1995, and 2000 as our data set, we measure the cross- disciplinary citation rates of each discipline and compare our results to the findings of previous studies in this area.
Reputations emerge in a collective manner. But does this guarantee that fame rests on merit, asks Philip Ball.
When scientists publish their results they wonder whether their papers will be remembered for many years, as some are, or quickly forgotten. Here we show why the average lifetimes of papers in various scientific disciplines differ so much. We find that both the length of the paper and the speed of growth of the field are crucial in determining the duration and number of citations it receives.
Examines the use of citation counts and web links to evaluate online LIS journals. The Journal Impact Factor, a traditional metric for comparing journals, is based on the citation counts of a journal over a specified period of time, compared with the citable articles published in the journal. The Web Impact Factor (WIF) has been proposed as an equivalent metric for websites. The WIF is broadly defined as the ratio of links made to a site, compared to the number of information units (e.g. pages) at the site. The study compares the WIFs of a sample of online LIS journal websites with their conventional citation counts. Links to online journals are often considered to be equivalent to citations, but there are significant differences. Provides indications of how effective the online medium is for communicating LIS research and offers guidance for LIS authors and journal editors to help them make effective use of online journals.
