“…That is, novel ideas that differ from existing concepts or methods are challenged and not well accepted by peers and are thus rarely cited [30]. It is also possible that fundamental theory and basic research, rather than a newly developed framework, may be valued in a particular discipline because of their scientific impact sustained over the years [14].…”

“…Xiao, et al [13] also proposed that citations can indicate how knowledge is diffused and utilized in knowledge networks. However, the rapid increase in the quality and quantity of tourism and hospitality research has led fellow researchers to choose only selective articles for citations among numerous published manuscripts [14].…”

“…In addition, the citation patterns may vary according to the sub-categories of research topics owing to the different degrees of theory development and methodological advancement of each research topic [13]. However, little is known about citation patterns in specific research topics and the influence of external factors on citation counts [14,19]. As previous studies primarily adopted manual content analysis to discover research topics and discern academic structure from journal articles [14,19], it is difficult to identify the interrelationships among such research topics.…”

In line with the qualitative and quantitative growth of academic papers, it is critical to understand the factors driving citations in scholarly articles. This study discovered the up-to-date academic structure in the tourism and hospitality literature and tested the comprehensive sets of factors driving citation counts using articles published in first-tier hospitality and tourism journals found on the Web of Science. To further test the effects of research topic structure on citation counts, unsupervised topic modeling was conducted with 9910 tourism and hospitality papers published in 12 journals over 10 years. Articles specific to online media and the sharing economy have received numerous citations and that recently published papers with particular research topics (e.g., rural tourism and eco-tourism) were frequently cited. This study makes a major contribution to hospitality and tourism literature by testing the effects of topic structure and topic originality discovered by text mining on citation counts.

“…The phenomenon can be analysed using descriptive analyses of the characteristics (i.e. topics, document types) of uncited publications in a limited number of articles (Law, Lee & Au 2013). However, this does leave the analysis without any means of comparing the uncitedness rates or characteristics with other publications.…”

Zero impact: a large-scale study of uncitedness

This paper presents a large-scale study of the phenomenon 'uncitedness'. A literature review indicates that uncitedness is related to at least three factors: Field, document type, and time. To explore these factors and their mutual influence further, and at much larger scale than previous studies, the paper focuses on seven subject areas (arts & humanities; social sciences; computer science; mathematics; engineering; medicine; physics & astronomy), seven document types (articles; reviews; notes; letters; conference papers; books; book chapters), and a 20-year publication window (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015). Documents are searched in Scopus, and retrieved year-by-year, discipline-by-discipline, and for each individual document type (total: 29,472,184 documents; 7,508,741 uncited documents). The results show great variance in uncitedness ratios between subject areas and document types. This is probably caused by a somewhat tacitly agreed upon genre hierarchy existing in all subject areas, yet with important local traits and differences. The importance of the time-dimension is documented. Time to first citation varies a great deal between subject areas, and the uncitedness ratio is consequently shown to be quite sensitive to the length of citation windows.
