“…In this sample, the research articles are cited twice in 8/75 (11%) and three or more times in 14/75 (17%). This suggests that impact generally is very limited, but is perhaps consistent with known figures for academic research impact (Carroll, 2016).…”

“…This facilitated further analysis: a verification of the numbers of policy documents listed as citing the research article and an assessment of how many times the research article was cited within a document. This latter score provides greater depth and context to the citation metric (Carroll, 2016). The analysis of the available data principally consisted of the tabulation and discussion of descriptive statistics and frequencies, e.g., the reporting of numbers of relevant research articles cited in policy documents; the categorization of these articles by academic faculty or field; the numbers and sources of policy documents.…”

“…For example, the citation context is considered in the bibliometric analyses to have more specific information on the impact of publications and how cited publications are perceived (Small et al 2017 ). Carroll ( 2016 ) takes into account “the frequency with which the paper is cited within citing publications … adding depth and value to the citation metric” (p. 1329). The results of Hu et al ( 2015 ) show that successive citations in papers are more intentional and reasonable than first-time citations—if papers are cited multiple times in a paper.…”

Sequence analysis of annually normalized citation counts: an empirical analysis based on the characteristic scores and scales (CSS) method

In bibliometrics, only a few publications have focused on the citation histories of publications, where the citations for each citing year are assessed. In this study, therefore, annual categories of field- and time-normalized citation scores (based on the characteristic scores and scales method: 0 = poorly cited, 1 = fairly cited, 2 = remarkably cited, and 3 = outstandingly cited) are used to study the citation histories of papers. As our dataset, we used all articles published in 2000 and their annual citation scores until 2015. We generated annual sequences of citation scores (e.g., ) and compared the sequences of annual citation scores of six broader fields (natural sciences, engineering and technology, medical and health sciences, agricultural sciences, social sciences, and humanities). In agreement with previous studies, our results demonstrate that sequences with poorly cited (0) and fairly cited (1) elements dominate the publication set; sequences with remarkably cited (3) and outstandingly cited (4) periods are rare. The highest percentages of constantly poorly cited papers can be found in the social sciences; the lowest percentages are in the agricultural sciences and humanities. The largest group of papers with remarkably cited (3) and/or outstandingly cited (4) periods shows an increasing impact over the citing years with the following orders of sequences: (6.01%), which is followed by (1.62%). Only 0.11% of the papers (n = 909) are constantly on the outstandingly cited level.

“…A citation in the discussion section is frequently about comparable results (Hu et al, 2015). A document might be cited more than once at different places in the citing document for different reasons (Carroll, 2016). Hu et al (2015) show that for a repeatedly cited document, its first-time citation is usually perfunctory, unlike the later citations (see section 3.2.1).…”

This study provides a conceptual overview of the literature dealing with the process of citing documents (focusing on the literature from the recent decade). It presents theories, which have been proposed for explaining the citation process, and studies having empirically analyzed this process. The overview is referred to as conceptual, because it is structured based on core elements in the citation process: the context of the cited document, processes from selection to citation of documents, and the context of the citing document. The core elements are presented in a schematic representation. The overview can be used to find answers on basic questions about the practice of citing documents. Besides understanding of the process of citing, it delivers basic information for the proper application of citations in research evaluation.
