The rise and rise of citation analysis

Abstract

It is a sobering fact that some 90% of papers that have been published in academic journals are never cited. Indeed, as many as 50% of papers are never read by anyone other than their authors, referees and journal editors. We know this thanks to citation analysis, a branch of information science in which researchers study the way articles in a scholarly field are accessed and referenced by others.

No public copy is stored for this record, so only the metadata is cited.

Stored only when both papers are in the corpus — 371 citations exist upstream.

Papers that cite the same references — the relational fallback while embeddings are still backfilling.
