Highly cited papers refer to the ranking of cited data of academic papers in the same field at the same time, and the top 1% is taken as highly cited in proportion. Hot papers refer to papers published in the last two years, and the number of citations in the last two months is above 0. 1%, and the time period between them is different.
Hot papers need to have the characteristics of times, challenge, universality, sensitivity and rheology. Highly cited papers are different. As long as there is a breakthrough in the rigorous content of experimental design, the citation rate will increase, and the high frequency of citation will have high natural academic value.
It is easy to understand by comparing the papers of the same ESI discipline. If you compare engineering with biochemical recycled materials, you will obviously be abused. The comparison of papers published in the same year is also easy to understand. You can't compare the total number of citations of papers published this year with those published five years ago.
Highly cited papers, hot papers and papers with high citations and hot spots are all called top papers. Therefore, it is not a paper published in a high-level journal or a high-level paper, but depends on the number of citations.
Overall characteristics of highly cited papers:
1, released early
This is the general trend. The earlier the paper is published, the greater the probability of being cited. I know some friends have something to say when they see this, saying that the early papers of some disciplines have long been out of date. Let's not take it with us. If you say so, the basic theory is rarely out of date.
2. There are many databases containing papers.
To give an extreme but clear example, if one of your papers is included in the websites that search for papers all over the world, the chances that people can view it will increase, the chances of being cited will increase, and the data counted as cited after being cited will also increase. Of course, in the whole process, the number of citations is very high.
3. Research content concerns.
This paper focuses on the issues of human concern. Every field and every discipline has problems that people and scholars pay close attention to, such as the top ten problems in mathematics, all of which have been studied and made breakthroughs. Or it is a hot research in recent years, in other words, it can be said that it is a cutting-edge research content, which belongs to the content of concern, and the number of citations of such papers is generally high.
4. Strong logic
A large number of data show that papers with strong logic are frequently cited. Logic is embodied in the high logical connection of the paper. Logical connection is divided into two parts. Vertical logical connection refers to the logical order between general arguments and secondary arguments, and between secondary arguments. The logic of these arguments should be clear.
