Abstract: A moderate bu tconsistent positive correlation was found between the number of citations in a paper and the number of times it is cited. This result refers to a collection of papers published in the American Sociology in 1972 and 1973. The followign variables were controlled: journal, year of publicatiions, subject category of paper, number of authors, and seniority of author. Several explanations of this finding are suggested.
