Causes of low and high citation potentials in science: Citation analysis of biochemistry and plant physiology journals

  • JÅNos Marton

Abstract

The citation data of eight leading biochemistry journals and eight leading plant physiology journals show that the primary reasons for the lower citation potentials of the plant physiology articles are as follows: (I) the readership other than specialists in the subject is narrower for plant physiology than for blochemlstry journals, (2) plant physiologists can cite fewer thematically relevant new articles than biochemists, and (3) plant physiology research fields are relatively isolated, whereas biochemistry research fields are relatively integrated. Evidence Is found that citation aging does not mean obsolescence. It is more proper to speak about the high cltedness of recent articles than about the low citedness of older ones.
