Insight into what they cite: a citation analysis of publications at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg

We examined the citation behaviour of authors of studies on the investment development path. We searched for studies on the investment development path with the keyword ‘investment development path’ in Google Scholar and Scopus through Publish or Perish Software. One hundred and twenty-seven (127) investment development path studies, published from 1986 to 2023, were fitted the data to the negative binomial estimator. We found that open access enhances citations of IDP studies. Also, how long a publication is in circulation increases citation. Peer-reviewed publications attract more citations than non-peer-reviewed publications. The number of authors on an investment development path paper did not distinguish how many citations the paper would attract. We did not provide interaction effects but single variable effects. Generally, authors of investment development path papers seeking to increase citations must publish in peer-reviewed journals, indexed in the Web of Science and with open access status.
