“…Other authors (especially MCCAIN & TURNER, 1989;MARIQIR et al, 1997) gave more emphasis to the location of a citation in terms of the section of an article in which it appeared. This, they claimed, was a more objective factor than distance from the start.…”

This paper describes an attempt to explore how far a categorisation of citations could be used as part of an assessment of the outcomes from health research. A large-scale project to assess the outcomes from basic, or early clinical, research is being planned, but before proceeding with such a project it was thought important to test and refine the developing methods in a preliminary study.Here we describe the development, and initial application, of one element of the planned methods: an approach to categorising citations with the aim of tracing the impact made by a body of research through several generations of papers. The results from this study contribute to methodological development for the large-scale project by indicating that: only for a small minority of citing papers is the cited paper of considerable importance; the number of times a paper is cited can not be used to indicate the importance of that paper to the articles that cite it; and self-citations could play an important role in facilitating the eventual outcomes achieved from a body of research.

This was later shown for larger article data sets when Maričić et al 25 and also Bornmann and Daniel 26 studied the relationship between location of citation within citing articles and the frequency of citations.…”

Can scientific journals be classified based on their ‘citation profiles’?

Classification of scientific publications is of great importance in biomedical research evaluation. However, accurate classification of research publications is challenging and normally is performed in a rather subjective way. In the present paper, we propose to classify biomedical publications into superfamilies, by analysing their citation profiles, i.e. the location of citations in the structure of citing articles. Such a classification may help authors to find the appropriate biomedical journal for publication, may make journal comparisons more rational, and may even help planners to better track the consequences of their policies on biomedical research.

“…Different aspects of citation histories of scientific publications have been studied (Exner & Kunz, 1995;Glanzel, 2007;Glanzel, Schlemmer, & Thijs, 2003;Glanzel & Schoepflin, 1994;Maricic, Spaventi, Pavicoic, & Pifat-Mrzljak, 1998; van Dalen & Henkens, 2004).…”
