Uncitedness in the biomedical literature

Abstract: The reception of a scientific article is measured in part by its citedness in the subsequent literature. Although most papers are eventually cited, a number of papers in a variety of scientific disciplines have never been cited. A study was conducted to determine the bibliographic characteristics of uncited papers in the biomedical literature. It was found that certain bibliographic characteristics differentiate cited from uncited papers. © 1990 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
