Abstract

Citation-based metrics such as the h-index and the journal impact factor continue to play a key role in the evaluation of scholarships for employment, promotion, and tenure in academia, as well as in funding decisions. As happens with most scientometric aspects concerning their discipline, knowledge of citation patterns in chemistry in the chemistry community is rather limited. Critically reviewing the outcomes of studies devoted to citations in chemistry and adding new insight from the analysis of contemporary chemistry research, this study aims to fill at least in part knowledge gaps concerning publishing, citations, and citation habits in the chemical sciences.
