What Makes an Article be More Cited?
Main Article Content
Abstract
As discussed in a previous editorial (Mendes-Da-Silva, 2020), the rejection of articles is something that we can learn from, and have to live with, since this is part of a researcher’s professional routine. This, however, proceeds from a supposed common objective of business researchers: the publication of our studies and the desire that they be considered relevant to society. In this respect, one of the main ways in which we judge the level of interest in our works is the number of citations that they receive (Garfield, 1955; Lee, Law, & Ladkin, 2014) and their mentions in the media (Pulido, Redondo-Sama, Sordé-Marti, & Flecha, 2018). But what then makes an article more cited (Hall & Page, 2015)?
