Abstract

We find out which older publications (defined here as published before 1991) are nowadays, i.e. during the period [2013–2022], the most cited in leading bibliometric journals. It is found that Small’s article on co-citation analysis is the most-cited one in these journals, followed by Garfield’s “Citation Analysis as a Tool in Journal Evaluation” and Merton’s article on the Matthew Effect. As expected, also Price figures prominently among colleagues with older, highly-cited publications. Moreover, we performed the same exercise for citations received during the period [2003–2012] and compared the corresponding top twenty lists as a study in the obsolescence of a group of older publications.

在文献计量学领域，哪些旧出版物的引用率仍然很高？当代文献计量学引文经典

我们发现了哪些较早的出版物（此处定义为 1991 年之前出版的出版物）如今（即 [2013-2022] 期间）在主要文献计量学期刊中被引用次数最多。结果发现，斯莫尔关于联合引用分析的文章是这些期刊中被引用最多的文章，其次是加菲尔德的《作为期刊评价工具的引用分析》和默顿关于马太效应的文章。不出所料，普赖斯的文章在发表时间较长、引用率较高的同行中也占据了重要位置。此外，我们还对 2003-2012 年期间的引文进行了同样的分析，并比较了相应的前二十名榜单，以此研究旧出版物的过时情况。

期刊介绍： Scientometrics aims at publishing original studies, short communications, preliminary reports, review papers, letters to the editor and book reviews on scientometrics. The topics covered are results of research concerned with the quantitative features and characteristics of science. Emphasis is placed on investigations in which the development and mechanism of science are studied by means of (statistical) mathematical methods. The Journal also provides the reader with important up-to-date information about international meetings and events in scientometrics and related fields. Appropriate bibliographic compilations are published as a separate section. Due to its fully interdisciplinary character, Scientometrics is indispensable to research workers and research administrators throughout the world. It provides valuable assistance to librarians and documentalists in central scientific agencies, ministries, research institutes and laboratories. Scientometrics includes the Journal of Research Communication Studies. Consequently its aims and scope cover that of the latter, namely, to bring the results of research investigations together in one place, in such a form that they will be of use not only to the investigators themselves but also to the entrepreneurs and research workers who form the object of these studies.
