The present text offers the results of an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model that relates the number of citations of articles published in Colombian engineering journals in the Scopus database (Dyna; Engineering and Research; Engineering and University; and Faculty of Engineering Journal) to the following variables: journal, article, authors and affiliation. The model results show that the following variables are citation determinants: number of references, publication year, publication in Dyna and use of English as publication language or not. The following variables are not significant: abstract word count, total page count, number of authors, affiliation with universities with a greater research output and affiliation with an Anglophone country.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
