Citation statistics from 110 years of physical review

By Sidney Redner. 2005

434 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Publicly available data reveal long-term systematic features about citation statistics and how papers are referenced. The data also tell fascinating citation histories of individual articles.

The science of science: from the perspective of complex systems (2017, background): “In addition, the evolution of physics over the past century has been studied systematically [33,34].”
Reputation and impact in academic careers (2013, neutral): “[61] Redner S (2005) Citation statistics from 110 years of Physical Review.”
Quantifying Long-Term Scientific Impact (2013, background): “mperature superconductivity in the 1980s, or delayed impact, like the explosion of citations to Erdős and Rényi’s work four decades after their publication, following the emergence of network science (3, 20, 21, 23). Our findings have policy implications, as current measures of citation-based impact”
Men Set Their Own Cites High: Gender and Self-citation across Fields and over Time (2016, background): “Citation distributions are consistent with a preferential attachment model in which each citation received generates additional citations (Barabási and Albert 1999; Barabási et al. 2001; de Solla Price 1976; Peterson, Pressé, and Dill 2010; Redner 2005).”
The Matthew effect in empirical data (2014, methodology): “Soon thereafter, Redner [64] conducted an analysis of the entire citation history of publications of Physical Review, at the time spanning 110 years, and also confirmed that linear preferential attachment appears to account for the propagation of citations.”
Defining and identifying Sleeping Beauties in science (2015, methodology): “The distributions also show no typical value or mode; there are no clear demarcation values that allow us to separate SBs from “normal” papers: delayed recognition occurs on a wide and continuous range, in sharp contrast with previous results claiming that SBs are extraordinary cases (35, 37, 41).”
Existence of minimizers for Kohn-Sham models in quantum chemistry (2009, methodology): “First, we provide a detailed presentation of the various Kohn–Sham models, which, despite their importance in physics and chemistry [26], are not very well known in the mathematical community.”
