Predicting the citation counts of individual papers via a BP neural network

作者：

Highlights：

• This study improved the citation prediction accuracy by applying the BP neural network.

• The BP neural network significantly outperformed the other six baselines (XGBoost, RF, LR, SVR, KNN, and RNN).

• Five essential features were determined for citation prediction.
