The study aimed to investigate the predictors of citations for RCTs in sepsis literature. RCTs that investigated the efficacy of treatment strategies on clinical outcomes in sepsis patients were included, and publication dat...

Many fields face an increasing prevalence of multi-authorship, and this poses challenges in assessing citation metrics.

We ...
