“…It was concluded that the essential oil delayed the peroxidation and microbial spoilage of chicken breast fillets. Similar results were reported for chicken meat (Avila- Ramos et al 2012;Spernakova et al 2007;Young et al 2003;Botsoglou et al 2002), turkey meat (Govaris et al 2007) and fish (Giannenas et al 2012) using different aromatic plants. In contrast, Simitzis et al (2010) did not observe an influence of oregano oil on meat traits in finishing pigs, which may be attributed to the limited experimental duration of only 35 days.…”

“…For instance, we notice, when we look at the first and second models, that the number of references and the number of authors explain some of the variance in the number of citations articles received in all three of the fields. This does not mean that one should artificially inflate the number of references (for instance by coping references from other articles, as discussed in Ramos et al 2012) and the number of authors. The positive effect of an increase in the number of references should be understood in the context of the persuasion factor of papers that build on previous literature, as well as some reciprocal altruism.…”

Getting cited is important for scholars and for the institutions in which they work. Whether because of the influence on scientific progress or because of the reputation of scholars and their institutions, understanding why some articles are cited more often than others can help scholars write more highly cited articles. This article builds upon earlier literature which identifies seemingly superficial factors that influence the citation rate of articles. Three Journal Citation Report subject categories are analyzed to identify these effects. From a set of 2,016 articles in Sociology, 6,957 articles in General & Internal Medicine, and 23,676 articles in Applied Physics, metadata from the Web of Knowledge was downloaded in addition to PDFs of the full articles. In this article number of words in title, number of pages, number of references, sentences in the abstract, sentences in the paper, number of authors and readability were identified as factors for analysis.

“…The field of spices was investigated in CAB database (Senthilkumaran and Amudhavalli 2007). Ethnobotany-related citation behavior was studied in Scopus (Ramos et al 2012). The importance of correct search strategies in CAM-related retrieval was emphasized by Crumley (2006).…”
