This study investigates a potential relationship between highly-cited scholarly papers and the number of citations received by other papers with which they share a journal issue. Citations received by 3675 articles across 484 issues published in three top information science journals are analyzed based on the condition of whether an article was published in an issue that includes a “highly-cited” paper (two standard deviations above mean number by year). The findings indicate a statistically significant effect of highly-cited papers and citations to other papers in the same journal issue. This finding is relevant to authors and publishers when considering the structure of publications with an “issue” format.

三大顶级信息科学期刊高被引论文与本期其他论文被引频次的关系

本研究调查了被高度引用的学术论文与与他们共享期刊问题的其他论文收到的引用次数之间的潜在关系。根据文章是否发表在包含“高被引”论文的期刊中（按年平均数高出两个标准差），分析在 3 个顶级信息科学期刊上发表的 484 期 3675 ​​篇文章收到的引用。研究结果表明，在同一期刊上，高被引论文和对其他论文的引用在统计上具有显着影响。在考虑具有“问题”格式的出版物结构时，这一发现与作者和出版商有关。
