Understanding Your Citation Momentum
Citations aren't just a vanity metric—they show how your work is being built upon by others. Tracking your citation velocity helps you understand whether your impact is growing or if it's time to publish new breakthrough work.
FAQs
What is citation velocity?
Citation velocity is the average number of new citations you receive per year. A higher velocity means your work is actively being discovered and cited.
Why might my citations be declining?
Citation patterns naturally fluctuate. Older papers get cited less as fields move on. The solution? Keep publishing new, relevant work and consider review articles that tend to attract more citations.
