METHODOLOGICAL RIGOUR AND REVIEW CITATION FREQUENCY IN PATIENT COMPLIANCE LITERATURE

Abstract

Review articles play a special role in the scientific literature by analysing and synthesizing recent work on a given topic. It is assumed that authors of review articles selectively cite relevant literature of the highest quality. These traits have suggested that articles frequently cited in reviews might be important, high quality articles for a subject literature. A method based on citation analysis has been proposed as a quality filtering system for medical literature.
