Dear Dr.
Actually journal articles get more citations than the book.Since books aren’t as available online as journal articles.

You can get more citations from books because they covers more topics than articles. Books can also be published online to make them accessible to everyone.
Usually books are cited in the backgroud of research and articles for specific applications.
The are a big difference between books and articles where:
1-Books are written to discuss about a specific field or topic and divided into chapters.
2- Articles are written to handle or solve a specific problem which is related to some field or topic.
Regarding the citation:
I agree with Dr. Zin Eddine Dadach where books are cited in the background of research and articles are cited for specific applications.
Most authors when citing from books does not specify what is taken from that book or mention the book as a general source only and therefore the number of citations in books less than for articles.
Journal articles usually get more citations. Accessibility is the problem. However good your chapter is, if readers don’t have access to the book, they won’t find it. Journal articles are usually available and accessible online.
Well, many journals are only accessible for a person in case this person is registered in an institution (usually a University) that pays publishers (e.g. Wiley, Elsevier, etc.) to have access to its articles.
Journal articles defimitely. They are much wider spread and more available than books.
As you know, researchers read journal articles more than books, because reading them does not take much time. In addition, researchers have time constraints. As a result, journal articles are more cited than books.
Read more journal articles than books. Choose the update journals from popular publisher.
