Citations, Citation Indicators, and Research Quality: An Overview of Basic Concepts and Theories
TL;DR: Citations are increasingly used as performance indicators in research policy and within the research system as mentioned in this paper, and it is argued that citations reflect aspects related to scientific impact and relevance, although with important limitations.

What Do Citation Counts Measure? An Updated Review of Studies on Citations in Scientific Documents Published between 2006 and 2018.
Iman Tahamtan,Lutz Bornmann +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a paper may be cited for very different scientific and non-scientific reasons and a variety of features should be analyzed, primarily the citation context, the semantics and linguistic patterns in citations, citation locations within the citing document, and citation polarity.

How status of research papers affects the way they are read and cited
TL;DR: This paper found that citations to the most highly cited papers were 2-3 times more likely to denote substantial influence than those with low citation counts, and papers with poor perceived quality are read more superficially.

Untangling the network effects of productivity and prominence among scientists
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors find that gendered differences in the productivity and prominence of mid-career researchers can be largely explained by differences in their coauthorship networks, and suggest that collaboration networks represent an important form of unequally distributed social capital that shapes who makes what scientific discoveries.

Co-citation in the scientific literature: A new measure of the relationship between two documents
TL;DR: A new form of document coupling called co-citation is defined as the frequency with which two documents are cited together, and clusters of co- cited papers provide a new way to study the specialty structure of science.

Bibliographic coupling between scientific papers
TL;DR: The population of papers under study was ordered into groups that satisfy the stated criterion of interrelation and an examination of the papers that constitute the groups shows a high degree of logical correlation.

Biological signals as handicaps.
TL;DR: It is proved under fairly general conditions that if the handicap principle's conditions are met, then an evolutionarily stable signalling equilibrium exists in a biological signalling system, and that any signalling equilibrium satisfies the conditions of the handicAP principle.
