What factors determine citation counts of publications in chemistry besides their quality?

Publication year: 2012 Source: Journal of Informetrics, Volume 6, Issue 1, January 2012, Pages 11-18 Lutz Bornmann, Hermann Schier, Werner Marx, Hans-Dieter Daniel A number of bibliometric studies point out that citation counts are a function of many variables besides scientific quality. In this paper our aim is to investigate these factors that usually impact the number of citation counts, using an extensive data set from the field of chemistry. The data set contains roughly 2000 manuscripts that were submitted to the journalAngewandte Chemie International Edition(AC-IE) as short communications, reviewed by external reviewers, and either published in AC-IE or, if not accepted for publication by AC-IE, published elsewhere.
