چکیده
1276 Introduction The first-citation-speed is an important indicator to evaluate the quality of Journals or articles, which can reflect the speed of articles being admitted or used after publication. And non-citation rate, which is related to first-citation-speed, is another indicator reflecting articles' quality. According to Zhu Mengjiao and Wu Yishan (2013), the potential value of non-cited articles hasn't been found. So it's meaningful to study the features of non-cited rate and first-citation-speed to evaluate the quality and dig the potential value of journals and articles. Egghe, L. and Bornmann, L. (2011) use h-index to define the First-Citation-Speed-Index (FCSI). t 1 = t c − t p (t c ≥ t p) is used to represent the speed of articles when receiving the first citation. FCSI is proved to be a good indicator to reflect the features of journals' first-citation-speed.
