On the time evolution of received citations, in different scientific fields: An empirical study

作者:

Highlights:

• Average received citations trends are calculated sampling from 2 ISI categories.

• Sample contains journals from “Chemistry, multidisciplinary” and “Management”.

• Most “Chemistry” journals trends present a peak at 2–3 years after publication.

• Most “Management” journals trends instead grow continuously after publication.

• Data on medians of received citations partly match those on average citations.
