A Review of Research on Influencing Factors and Prediction of Citation Frequency of a Single Paper
[Purpose/Significance] Combing the relevant influencing factors of the citation frequency of a single paper and the research status of the prediction of the citation frequency, this paper provides a comprehensive and systematic cognitive framework from the perspective of the involvement of scientific researchers and scientific research institutions in such research. [Method/Process] Using the literature research method, through the systematic combing of the existing literature, this paper summarized the relevant contents and characteristics of the influencing factors, research objects and research methods of citation prediction, compared and analyzed different methods by means of list, and summarized the common problems and some innovative solutions of the existing research. [Result/Conclusion] In the process of systematic combing and summarizing, it is found that the causal relationship between influencing factors and prediction results is not clear, the research sample data is lack of diversity, the relationship between the applicability of research results and prediction cycle is not clear, and the interpretability of model evaluation is weak. Therefore, we should improve the follow-up research quality from the aspects of solving the preconditions of the problem, selecting targeted samples, improving the extraction methods of influencing factors, and using mathematical thinking mode for modeling.
