The citation and cited data of 4,700 journals were counted and calculated, including 3,500 journals included in SCI, and the impact factors and other indicators were defined for each journal to report. The impact factor of a periodical refers to the average number of citations in the previous two years. The higher the impact factor of a journal, that is, the higher the citation rate of its published documents. On the one hand, it shows that the research results reported by these documents have great influence, on the other hand, it also reflects the high academic level of the journal.
Of course, the article is not quoted, and the number of citations is also related to whether the research direction is hot or not and whether the results involve a wide range of fields. For example, nano-materials research, nano is very fashionable, can be applied to chemical industry, energy, environmental protection, disinfection, and there are many people who study nano. Of course, there are also many people who publish articles about nano. If you quote me and I quote you, then nano-articles will be quoted more often. If magazines often publish articles about nano-research, the influence factors of magazines will naturally increase. The same is true of other industries.
Journals like to publish concise papers and have strict requirements on the number of words and pages, but this will lead the author to delete the contents of the papers, which is not conducive to the influence of the journal itself. But it doesn't mean that in order to increase the number of times the article is quoted, it deliberately increases some irrelevant content and the total number of words in the article.
There is a certain correlation between the number of authors and references and the citation rate. Moreover, the more articles are cited, the higher the citation frequency. We think this is a better reference. The longer the research time, the more comprehensive and accurate the information and theory will be for discovery, reading and learning. The more reliable the conclusion, the more likely it is to be cited.
