“…This paper has shown that these are characteristics of highly cited papers, but to what extent can these characteristics be used as indicators need further investigation. These characteristics are in line with other studies of highly cited papers (Aksnes 2003;Chen, Arsenault and Larivière 2015;Fu et al 2011;Miyairi and Chang 2012;Persson 2010;Pislyakov and Shukshina 2014;Tijssen et al 2002). In addition, our study highlights new findings that highly cited papers are more represented by articles rather than reviews papers, affiliated to research-intensive universities and outcomes of national funded research.…”

“…This shows that international and large number of co-authorship typically increases visibility of papers and proves to be profitable in terms of citations (Pislyakov and Shukshina 2014). Additionally, Chen, Arsenault, and Larivière (2015) reported the top 1 percent most cited papers exhibit higher levels of interdisciplinarity, implying that interdisciplinary research plays an important role in creating major scientific discoveries and generating high impact knowledge. Highly cited papers from the periphery world have received little attention in the literature.…”

“…Furthermore, the top cited articles are more interdisciplinary; [17] in turn classical chemical engineering journals are cited less since they belong to a single category. Both the most cited articles and the categories with the highest impact factors have more references that WoS indexes.…”

Chemical engineers operate industrial plants, design reactors and equipment, manage capital projects, estimate costs, project earnings, and drive efficiency through innovation while maintaining rigorous safety standards. The undergraduate curriculum includes mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, biology, and management, much of which is common with other engineering departments. [1] However, chemical engineering research is more related to chemistry. Here, we show that chemical engineers cite journals in WoS' chemical engineering category most, followed by physical chemistry, energy & fuels, multi-disciplinary chemistry, environmental science, and multi-disciplinary materials science. According to a bibliometric analysis, the major research poles include materials, biotechnology, catalysis, environment, and thermodynamics. The 5 top cited journals in 2012 were Ind. Eng. Chem. Res., J. Membrane Sci., Chem. Eng. Sci., J. Hazard. Mater., and J. Catal., which are not the journals with the highest impact factors of the category. Can. J. Chem. Eng. was ranked third among the 32 classical chemical engineering journals after AIChE J. and Chem. Eng. Sci. and with respect to the ratio of the number of citations accrued until August 2017 to the number of articles they published in 2012. Chinese researchers have authored more articles than any other nation and they co-author research most with the USA and other Pacific Rim nations. Research collaborations between nations follow linguistic, geographical, and historical traditions.

“…Huang reports a positive correlation between quality and quantity. Articles from multidisciplinary teams populate the top 1 % of the most cited . Besides innovative research, we suggest authors cite more papers to increase the chances of getting cited, choose an appropriate venue, and promote your work …”
