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
