Citation inequity and gendered citation practices in contemporary physics

Analyzing data citation practices according to the Data Citation Index

We present an analysis on data citation practices based on the Data Citation Index from Thomson Reuters. This database launched in 2012 aims to link data sets and data studies with citations received from the rest of their citation indexes. Funding bodies and research organizations are increasingly demanding the need of researchers to make their scientific data available in a reusable and repro...

Citation, citation, citation.

Citation networks in high energy physics.

The citation network constituted by the SPIRES database is investigated empirically. The probability that a given paper in the SPIRES database has k citations is well described by simple power laws, P(k) proportional to k(-alpha), with alpha approximately 1.2 for k less than 50 citations and alpha approximately 2.3 for 50 or more citations. A consideration of citation distribution by subfield s...

Exploiting Citation Contexts for Physics Retrieval

The text surrounding citations within scientific papers may contain terms that usefully describe cited documents and can benefit retrieval. We present a preliminary study that investigates appending citation contexts from citing documents to cited documents in the iSearch test collection. We examine the effect on information retrieval performance of a range of citation context sizes and their v...

a contrastive study of rhetorical functions of citation in iranian and international elt scopus journals

writing an academic article requires the researchers to provide support for their works by learning how to cite the works of others. various studies regarding the analysis of citation in m.a theses have been done, while little work has been done on comparison of citations among elt scopus journal articles, and so the dearth of research in this area demands for further investigation into citatio...
