“…The positive correlation between citation count and reference count is consistent to many previous studies (Peters and Van Raan, 1994 ; Lokker et al, 2008 ; Farshad et al, 2013 ; Hanssen and Jørgensen, 2014 ; Fox et al, 2016 ). However, the Pearson correlation coefficient was very small (0.289).…”

Background: The insula is one of the most researched brain regions with many highly cited papers. However, unlike the literature of other fields, there is currently no study that has identified the 100 most cited papers within the literature of the insula. The aim of the current study was to fill in the knowledge gap by determining which publications concerning the insula have been cited most often, who contributed to them, and what topics they were dealing with.Methods: The Web of Science online database was searched to identify the 100 most cited publications mentioning the insular cortex in their titles, abstracts or keywords. To systematically exclude irrelevant publications, the search strategy was finalized as: TS = (insula OR insular OR “island of Reil”) NOT TS = (“insular biogeography” OR “insular mammal*” OR “*insular lymphatic*”) NOT WC = (“Geochemistry and Geophysics” OR “Ecology”). The identified publications were sorted in descending order of citation count. The 100 most cited publications concerning the insula of the brain were identified and their bibliometric data was extracted and assessed. The VOSviewer software was used with default parameters to generate a bubble map that analyzes and visualizes the words/phrases used in the titles and abstracts of the publications.Results: There were 67 articles on experiments/lab studies and 33 meta-analyses/reviews but no opinion or methods paper. They had an average of 943.4 citations (or 62.9 citations per year), 93.5 references and 13.4 pages. There were 35 papers published in open access. USA was the major contributing country. The most top-ranked publications were concerning emotion, salience and pain.Conclusion: Two-thirds of the publications concerned the normal brain function/mechanism (n = 67), whereas 20 publications concerned disease/therapeutic intervention and another 13 concerned normal anatomy. For the 67 original articles, 57 used human subjects whereas 10 used animal models. MRI was the commonest modality (n = 37), followed by PET (n = 16). Nine articles investigated by histology, two by multiple modalities and three by other modality.

“…For example, Sin (2011) showed that citation was higher for papers written through international collaboration, Northern European authors, and authors in high-income nations. Similar findings have been made by Aksnes (2003), Hanssen and Jørgensen (2014) and Katz and Hicks (1997).…”

“…It had been suggested that citations could be higher for papers with international collaboration due to increased visibility of the papers as researchers from different countries may attract readers from different networks (Glänzel 2001;Hanssen and Jørgensen 2014;Hara et al 2003). On the other hand, due to transaction costs of collaboration, authors would only collaborate if the inherent quality of the work (articles) could be improved (e.g., using data from different sources or replicating studies in different countries to test robustness of the results).…”

Does academic collaboration equally benefit impact of research across topics? The case of agricultural, resource, environmental and ecological economics

In this paper, we analyse the effects of different types of formal collaboration and research topics on research impact of academic articles in the area of agricultural, resource, environmental, and ecological economics. The research impact is measured by the number of times an article has been cited each year since publication. The topics within the area of research are modelled using latent semantic analysis. We distinguish between the effect of institutional, national, and international collaboration. We use statistical models for count data and control for the impacts of journals, publication year, and years since publication. We find that, holding other factors constant, collaboration in the form of co-authorship increases research impact. The effect of inter-institutional collaboration within same country is similar to the effect of collaboration within same institution. However, international collaboration results in additional increase in impact. We find that the topic of a paper substantially influences number of citations and identified which topics are associated with greater impact. The effects of different types of collaboration on citations also vary across topics.

“…That more cited references correlate with higher citation rates was one of the outcomes in a study by Yu, Yu, Li, and Wang (), where library and information science was the field of interest. The same observation was made by Bornmann, Leydesdorff, and Wang (), in a study where the WoS subject categories were utilized for obtaining reference sets, as well as by Hanssen and Jorgensen, (), in a study on citation rates in transportation research.…”

In this large-scale contribution, we deal with the relationship between properties of cited references of Web of Science articles and the field normalized citation rate of these articles. Using nearly 1 million articles, and three classification systems with different levels of granularity, we study the effects of number of cited references, share of references covered by Web of Science, mean age of references and mean citation rate of references on field normalized citation rate. To expose the relationship between the predictor variables and the response variable, we use quantile regression. We found that a higher number of references, a higher share of references to publications within Web of Science and references to more recent publications correlate with citation impact. A correlation was observed even when normalization was done with a finely grained classification system. The predictor variables affected citation impact to a larger extent at higher quantile levels. Regarding the relative importance of the predictor variables, citation impact of the cited references was in general the least important variable. Number of cited references carried most of the importance for both low and medium quantile levels, but this importance was lessened at the highest considered level.
