We find that the distributions of references made and citations received share a number of basic features across sciences. Reference distributions are rather skewed to the right while citation distributions are even more highly skewed: The mean is about 20 percentage points to the right of the median, and articles with a remarkable or an outstanding number of citations represent about 9% of the total. Moreover, the existence of a power law representing the upper tail of citation distributions cannot be rejected in 17 fields whose articles represent 74.7% of the total. Contrary to the evidence in other contexts, the value of the scale parameter is above 3.5 in 13 of the 17 cases. Finally, power laws are typically small, but capture a considerable proportion of the total citations received.}, author = {Albarrán, Pedro and Ruiz-Castillo, Javier}, doi = {10.1002/asi.21448}, interhash = {79502663727fcbd4834a423f4e3212a3}, intrahash = {f20e50e960696bab3b39b628718dd850}, issn = {1532-2890}, journal = {Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology}, number = 1, pages = {40--49}, publisher = {Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company}, title = {References made and citations received by scientific articles}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/asi.21448}, volume = 62, year = 2011 } @article{cerinek2015network, abstract = {We analyze the data about works (papers, books) from the time period 1990–2010 that are collected in Zentralblatt MATH database.

Based on the results of these studies, the paper seeks to answer the question of the extent to which scientists are motivated to cite a publication not only to acknowledge intellectual and cognitive influences of scientific peers, but also for other, possibly non‐scientific, reasons.Design/methodology/approach – The review covers research published from the early 1960s up to mid‐2005 (approximately 30 studies on citing behavior‐reporting results in about 40 publications).Findings – The general tendency of the results of the empirical studies makes it clear that citing behavior is not motivated solely by the wish to acknowledge intellectual and cognitive influences of colleague scientists, since the individual studies reveal also other, in part non‐scientific, factors that play a part in the decision to cite. However, the results of the studies must also be deemed scarcely reliable: the studies vary widely in design, and their results can hardly be replicated. Many of the studies have methodological weaknesses. Furthermore, there is evidence that the different motivations of citers are “not so different or ‘randomly given’ to such an extent that the phenomenon of citation would lose its role as a reliable measure of impact”.Originality/value – Given the increasing importance of evaluative bibliometrics in the world of scholarship, the question “What do citation counts measure?” is a particularly relevant and topical issue. }, author = {Bornmann, Lutz and Daniel, Hans‐Dieter}, doi = {10.1108/00220410810844150}, eprint = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/00220410810844150}, interhash = {ef016be783f4956817cded258543ece3}, intrahash = {544d3243f7c7327b946292a80f9b6451}, journal = {Journal of Documentation}, number = 1, pages = {45-80}, title = {What do citation counts measure?

Social bookmarking data can be used to augment participative methods (e.g. interviews and surveys) and other, non-participative methods (e.g. citation analysis and transaction logs) to measure the use of scholarly information. We use BibSonomy, a free resource-sharing system, as a case study. Results show that published journal articles are by far the most popular type of source bookmarked, followed by conference proceedings and books. Commercial journal publisher platforms are the most popular type of information resource bookmarked, followed by websites, records in databases and digital repositories. Usage of open access information resources is low in comparison with toll access journals. In the case of open access repositories, there is a marked preference for the use of subject-based repositories over institutional repositories. The results are consistent with those observed in related studies based on surveys and citation analysis, confirming the possible use of bookmarking data in studies of information behaviour in academic settings. The main advantages of using social bookmarking data are that is an unobtrusive approach, it captures the reading habits of researchers who are not necessarily authors, and data are readily available. The main limitation is that a significant amount of human resources is required in cleaning and standardizing the data.}, author = {Borrego, Ángel and Fry, Jenny}, doi = {10.1177/0165551512438353}, eprint = {http://jis.sagepub.com/content/38/3/297.full.pdf+html}, interhash = {71ddfdd5b3d99b1a2986b4ded5e02b3c}, intrahash = {e5ccbb3378eeb88e7288d8ce59539812}, journal = {Journal of Information Science}, number = 3, pages = {297--308}, title = {Measuring researchers' use of scholarly information through social bookmarking data: A case study of BibSonomy}, url = {http://jis.sagepub.com/content/38/3/297.abstract}, volume = 38, year = 2012 }
