Citation contagion: a citation analysis of selected predatory marketing journals
Abstract
To date, limited studies have examined the citations of articles published in predatory journals, and none appears to have been done in marketing. Using Google Scholar (GS) as a citation source, this study aims to examine the extent of citations ...
Analyzing data citation practices using the data citation index

We present an analysis of data citation practices based on the Data Citation Index DCI Thomson Reuters. This database launched in 2012 links data sets and data studies with citations received from the other citation indexes. The DCI harvests citations ...
Journal self-citation study for semiconductor literature: synchronous and diachronous approach
Special issue: Informetrics

The present study investigates the self-citations of the most productive semiconductor journals by synchronous (self-citing rate) and diachronous (self-cited rate) approaches. Journal's productivity of 100 most productive semiconductor journals was ...
