Does quality and content matter for citedness? A comparison with para-textual factors and over time

作者:

Highlights:

• We run models using citation windows of one to ten years with both annual citation and cumulative citations as dependent variables.

• Independent variables were both bibliometric and quality indicators (judgments of peers).

• We find that the Journal Impact Factor has a larger effect on the citation impact than the quality.

• The number of pages and the quality of the references are less influential.

• The results call into question a discrepancy between the algorithmically based indicators and the qualitative judgments.
