Abstract

Purpose: This paper aim to review features of review articles that are available immediately after publication and their relationship with the number of citations they receive in the field of cell biology.
Methodology: ten article features including SJR, SNIP, IF, the numbers of authors, the number of countries, the number of cited references, the number of pages, the length of the article title in terms of number of characters, abstract words number and Price Index of all the review articles covered by journals in Scopus in year 2012 has explored Using multivariate OLS regression models.
Findings: The results show that, SNIP, SJR, Number of countries, IF, Number of references, Price index of review articles indexed in Scopus have the highest relation with the number of future citations of articles respectively. In addition number of pages, number of authors and article title length has negative association in this field and type. Based on the presented models each unit increases in SNIP is associated with 43% increase in citations, while for IF this association is about 10%.
Conclusion: Features used in this study, have capability of explaining about one-third of citations. Furthermore, SNIP is more capable of predicting the number of future citations of articles in this field
