“…The analysis of traditional metrics, such as article citation number and journal impact factor, is a well‐studied technique to evaluate the influence that research has on its field. Prior studies have validated the roles of these metrics through multiple approaches . However, as technology rapidly advances, new methods of assessing the literature should be considered.…”

Background The influence of research has long been studied using citations and impact factors (IFs). Electronic media is changing how people interact with the scientific literature. There are few investigations into these trends. Purpose To explore whether Altmetrics correlate with traditional bibliometrics in the Implantology literature. Materials and Methods Five Implantology journals with the highest IF and the 10 most highly‐cited articles within those journals from 2013 to 2016 were reviewed. Altmetric score, citation count, and media “mentions” were recorded. Comparisons were conducted between Altmetric score, citations, and IF by performing Pearson correlation coefficients and descriptive statistics. Twitter accounts were studied and compared to other metrics. Results Analysis revealed no correlation between citations and Altmetrics (r = .096,P = .506) or IF and Altmetrics (r = .111,P = .443) in 2013. Altmetrics were also not significantly correlated with citations (r = 0.148,P = .305) or IF (r = .145,P = .315) in 2016. Total Altmetric scores were nine times higher in 2016 compared to 2013, with news outlets and Twitter seeing large increases in mentions. Twitter was the top medium receiving mentions across the two cohorts. Conclusions Compared to other fields, Implantology articles received lower Altmetric scores, noting an area of improvement. Altmetrics at this time are insufficient to replace traditional bibliometrics, but may provide helpful real‐time information concerning article dissemination.

“…Articles that have accrued more citations are likely to have high relevance to the field and serve as a foundation for other research endeavors 9,21 . The factors that influence article citations has been studied by other fields in their respective literature 2,1617 . Newer metrics have been developed to consider more than just citation counts to measure an articles influence, but these metrics require more time for validation before they can be readily used 2,18 .…”

“…Dessa forma, hipotetizamos como mecanismo que um artigo cujo resumo é longo tem vantagens por fornecer abundância de termos passíveis de compor as estratégias de buscas e, consequentemente, ser recuperado e seu resumo ser lido, dando assim a oportunidade de o leitor decidir por ler o artigo na íntegra e eventualmente citá-lo em seu trabalho em andamento. Em estudo recente,Boyd et al (2019) compararam os artigos mais citados com os menos citados publicados entre 1997 e 2007 por periódicos da área de urologia. Os autores identificaram que os mais citados continham resumos mais longos, de modo que nossos resultados corroboram, com amostra consideravelmente maior, esses achados Letchford et al (2016).…”

“…A hipótese dos autores era de que resumos longos e com palavras incomuns demandariam, para sua compreensão, maior carga cognitiva por parte do leitor e que isso poderia fazer o artigo não receber tantas citações. Apesar do grande tamanho da amostra, o estudo incluiu apenas os artigos mais citados entre 1999 e 2008, de modo que não houve comparação dos mais citados com os menos citados.Corroborando o estudo deBoyd et al (2019) na área de urologia, identificamos que os artigos mais citados apresentam maior quantidade de referências e são mais longos. Quanto às referências, maior número de referências aumenta em mais de duas vezes as chances de ser moderadamente citado e em quase seis vezes as chances de ser altamente citado.…”

“…Quanto ao tamanho do artigo,Ahmed et al, em 2016, identificaram que artigos com 11-20 páginas eram mais citados do que aqueles com até 10 páginas. Semelhantemente,Boyd et al (2019) identificaram que artigos mais longos, operacionalizados pelo maior número de palavras, recebiam mais citações. No presente estudo, utilizando métodos estatísticos mais complexos, confirmamos que artigos maiores são 2 vezes mais citados do que aqueles menores.…”

OBJECTIVES: To identify factors associated with citation of scientific articles, and validate the accuracy of the funding field in the Web of Science (WoS). METHODS: We analyzed 3,306 articles indexed in the WoS related to Nutrition and Dietetics, published between 2009 and 2011, distributed according to their category of citation (never or rarely cited, moderately cited, highly cited). We tested independent variables related to the article, research, journal, and author. In order to identify factors associated with citations, we used multinomial logistic regression. The odds ratio (OR) values and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated for each independent variable (simple regression), and the values adjusted in the final model (multiple regression). The validation of the database was assessed by estimating sensitivity and specificity. The significance level adopted was 5%. RESULTS: Of the 19 factors tested, 13 remained independently associated with citations. The attributes associated with a greater chance of the article being moderately or highly cited were as follows: type of the title, abstract size, number of references, article length, publication type, funding statement, quartile of the journal, number of WoS categories to which the journal belongs, number of authors, authors' engagement, and number of countries in collaboration. Addressing a hot topic, or being open access, was associated with less chance of the article receiving citations. CONCLUSIONS: We identified attributes of the article, the research, the journal, and the author that affect the chances of a scientific article being cited.Among the associated factors, five are attributes related to the article, and six are modifiable, which can be worked on to increase the chances of receiving more citations. The WoS metadata on funding is reliable for bibliometric analysis. The language of publication and the location where the funding is reported in the article are likely to influence funding information reliability.
