Dear RG members,
Excluding the (intrinsic) factors such as quality and content of an article, what are the extrinsic factors/predicors that influence the citation rate of a research article? Is it;
1. The journal or publisher
2. Paid or open access journal
3. Indexing and visibility of the journal
4. Predatory/non-predatory journal
5. Current (hot) topic
6. Number of authors
7. Author’s achievements
Please share your opinion and experience?
Best regards
Irfan Adil
