Investigating the impact of publishing an article in a journal on the number of citations received by the article.

The Impact of Citations on Publishing Articles in Journals

For this project, we utilized the OpenAlex and arXiv datasets. The purpose of the project is to investigate the impact of publishing an article in a journal on the number of citations received by the article. The data_proccessing-big_data.ipynb file contains the data collection and processing procedures. The Results_and_Visualizations.ipynb file contains the analysis and visualizations of the results. The following file [Paper Publication in Journals - Analyzing the Impact on Citations Rate.pdf] is the paper for our project.
