Abstract: Citation counts can be used as an indicator of research quality. The question addressed herein was can we identify any variables that are associated with or could even be used to foretell whether a manuscript will become well cited or be a high impact journal article? To answer this question, a review was conducted of papers that cited a published article that, according to Google Scholar, had been cited 23 times. Ten of these articles, written in English, were located using available library resources (e.g. library subscriptions, interlibrary loan). Upon reviewing these articles and noting how the targeted article had been used within each, three categories emerged that likely exerted some influence on whether the paper was cited. These categories were labeled paper attributes, journal attributes, and author attributes. These attributes are discussed and suggestions are provided for increasing citation counts.
