“…Similar to results from previous studies [16,17,21,23,26] citation distributions at all ranks showed large, positive skews. This was also consistent with reports of citation outliers [18] and a large percentage of low or uncited research [10,17,27,28] Total citations from Google Scholar Citations as of May 15, 2015 for the top user profiles using "biomechanics" as an area of interest and holding the rank of professor. Mean number of authors was calculated from the 10 most cited publications for each profile.…”

SummaryStudy aim: citations to the publications of a scholar have been used as a measure of the quality or influence of their research record. A world-wide descriptive study of the citations to the publications of biomechanics scholars of various academic ranks was conducted. Material and methods: Google Scholar Citations was searched for user profiles reporting "biomechanics" as an interest area and data recorded if they had at least one citation to their publications. Total citations, academic rank, and country were recorded for 2067 scholars from 79 countries. Additional data were collected and analyzed for most cited (top 15%) biomechanics scholars holding the rank of professor. Results: there was a significant (p < 0.001) difference in the distribution of citations between all ranks, and all ranks had large variation and were positively skewed. The ranking of the most cited scholar profiles at the rank of professor was influenced by normalizing citation counts for numbers of co-authors. Conclusions: percentile rank citation data from this study may be useful to supplement peer-evaluation of biomechanics scholar's Google Scholar publication records, particularly if the number of co-authors contributing their citations is taken into account.

“…Garfield (1991) noted that a paper is'more likely to he cited if it is published in a highly cited journal than in lowly cited one, and Pendlebury (1991) points out that articles published in prestigious journals such as Science are almost never le{t uncited. In his study of the lournal of the American Chemical Societq, Ghosh (1974) Ibund that only I ol'222 test papers (0.45Vo) published in 1965 remained uncited in the lbllowing six years. Ghosh ( 1975) did another stuily of' uncitedness, this time with Nature, and his data show that ofthe 75 lead articles published in 1965, only 3Vo or 4Vo remained uncited through 1970.…”

“…This study selected articles published in the six leading hospitality and tourism journals Ghosh (1975) argued that five years is a reasonable period of time for a published article to be cited. Thus, this study excluded the recently published articles, giving all articles sufficient time to be cited after being published.…”

“…Another limitation is the choice of an arbitrary timeframe from 1996 to 2005. While a 10-year timeframe was set to match with that of Park and colleagues' (2011) study along with the consideration of a five-year window for a publication to be cited (Ghosh, 1975), a different timeframe may provide a different result.…”

Prior studies on academic performance predominantly concentrated on ranking universities and geographical regions using publications in selected journals. Despite general agreement on journal rankings based on the number of citations, no extant articles analyze universities or countries on the basis of citations from publications in leading hospitality and tourism journals. This paper examined the number of citations that published articles from six leading journals in hospitality and tourism received during the 10-year period from 1996 to 2005.The affiliated universities, countries/regions, and geographical continents were then ranked to determine their level of academic performance. This paper provides an alternative insight into academic performance of research universities and countries.
