“…Research articles published during 2010 (the publication year of the first article to include a video abstract) and 2016 were chosen because of the balance of sufficient sample size and a fair chance of being cited up. Moreover, the peak citation time for physical science journals is 2 years (Kim et al 2018). All articles in the data set were published at least 2 years ago, with the citations counted up to 24 December 2018 (we gathered citation counts for the articles via Scopus API on 12 September 2018 and updated the citation counts via Scopus API on 24 December 2018).…”

In this paper, we addressed the question of whether a video abstract of an article affects its citation counts. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the research articles published in New Journal of Physics during 2010 and 2016. Articles with video abstract (N = 315) as the experimental group, were matched 1:2, with articles without video abstract (N = 630) as the control group, by the same publishing issue, same article type. Specifically, the articles lacking video abstract that appeared immediately before and after each experimental group article were included in the control group. A negative binomial regression model was employed to analyze the data. After controlling for the characteristics of articles (including the number of authors, international co-authorship, character counts of title, character counts of text-based abstract, keyword counts, reference counts, page counts and funding), our results showed that articles with video abstract (experimental group) compared to the articles without video abstract (control group) were expected to have a rate 1.206 times greater for citation counts. This study suggests that a video abstract can potentially serve as a useful genre of a research article for receiving more citation counts.

“…Despite criticism directed at the evaluation system that assesses the impact of a journal in relation to others (Dorta-González and Dorta-González, 2013;Gonzáles-Sala et al, 2022;Kim et al, 2018;Saeed et al, 2019), publishing in a journal with a consistently high impact factor on the JCR is a benefit for the author and increases the visibility of the research (Gilyarevskii et al, 2021;Haba-Osca et al, 2019;Tang, 2013). However, a high impact factor does not necessarily reflect the quality of a publication (Kaldas et al, 2020).…”

The present study aims to outline the profile of uncited or rarely cited articles indexed in the Web of Science database between 2017 and 2021. We used stratified random sampling of 14,425 journals to extract our study sample of 373 journals. The dependent variable was defined as the number of citations, with independent variables being the JCR index, maturity, quartile, language of publication, and whether the research was funded. Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the sample according to field of research and variable. A negative binomial regression method was used to estimate which variables influence the number of citations received by articles in the sample. We found that of the 256,524 articles that make up the research corpus, 39,469 (15.39%) received no citations and 91,963 articles (35.85%) received up to four citations. The variables that positively influenced estimates of the number of citations were maturity (0.481), JCR index (0.159), and funding (0.020), while quartile (-0.170) and language (-1.032) had a negative influence on number of citations. We conclude that the pressures of academic productivism create a vicious cycle in which studies are referenced based on their ranking in the struggle for privileged editorial space, with articles in higher quartile journals being more prone to citation.

“…In an evaluation study of Polish journals Kulczycki and Rozkosz (2017) concluded that a multidimensional evaluation of local journals should not rely only on bibliometric indicators derived from WoS or Scopus, but must be complemented with expert-based assessments according to common guidelines. Kim, Kim & Kang (2018) reported an increase in citation impact measured in the SCI-Expanded (the key segment of Web of Science) of national Korean journals in engineering and natural sciences. Focusing on Spanish and Italian journals in social sciences and humanities, Aleixandre-Benavent et al (2019) underlined that publication characteristics in these domains of scholarship differ strongly from those in other disciplines in terms of geographical scope of research, including its national or local orientation, document type, publication language and collaboration practices.…”

Nationally oriented scientific-scholarly journals are considered from a methodological-informetric viewpoint, analysing data extracted from Scimago Journal Rank based on Scopus. An operational definition is proposed of a journal's degree of national orientation based on the geographical distribution of its publishing or citing authors, and the role of international collaboration and a country's total publication output. A comprehensive analysis is presented of trends up until 2019 in national orientation and citation impact of national journals entering Scopus, extending outcomes in earlier studies. A method to analyse national journals of given countries is applied to the set of former USSR republics and Eastern and Central European states which were under socialism, distinguishing between domestic and foreign national journals. The possible influence is highlighted of factors related to a journal's access status, publication language and subject field, international scientific migration and collaboration, database coverage policies, the size of a national research community, historical-political factors and national research assessment and funding policies.
