Are there too many uncited articles? Zero inflated variants of the discretised lognormal and hooked power law distributions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors test the assumption that removing a proportion of uncited articles from a citation dataset allows statistical distributions to have much closer fits and introduce two new models, zero inflated discretised lognormal distribution and the zero inflated hooked power law distribution and algorithms to fit them.
Let the credits roll: a preliminary examination of the role played by mentors and trusted assessors in disciplinary formation
TL;DR: The social function and cognitive significance of acknowledgements are explored and it is proposed that acknowledgements and citations should be used conjointly in the assessment of research performance and in disciplinary exegesis.
A quasi-quantitative citation model
TL;DR: The paper introduces the citation strategy indicator which relates impact factors of cited periodicals with the mean impact factor of periodicals in the corresponding research subfield and introduces theitation threshold concept which tries to characterize the effect of citing motivations quantitatively.
Citation Analysis
Linda C Smith
TL;DR: A critical review of the theories that have formed and/or continue to form the basic assumptions underlying citation analysis and symbolic characteristics of citations, which have attracted a great deal of attention from researchers in information science and other fields.
Some reflections on citation habits in psychology
TL;DR: In this article, a general pattern of growth was seen to vary with and within the subject field, and Xlignesse and Osgood [2] note that the growth in the volume of citations over the decade 1950-1960 was quite sparsified.

Measures of scientific growth
TL;DR: In this article, a distinction is made among scientific activity, scientific productivity, and scientific progress, and it is suggested that the above measures might depend on the particular field of science, on the speed whereby research front information becomes archival, the phenomena of wrong papers and of ‘also ran’ papers, on geographical differences in communication patterns, on whether we want to measure activity, productivity, or progress.

Communication and the Reward System of Science: A Study of a National ‘Invisible College’:
TL;DR: The connection between the organization of the informal communication system and the reward system may be seen by looking at data which shows which type of groups are, on the average, 'over' recognised for their scientific productivity and which are 'under' recognised as discussed by the authors.
