Generally speaking, although there are differences in the reviewing criteria and publication processes of different publication types, in the same research area, there is certainly overlap in terms of the problems addressed and the audience for different publication types. Therefore, the research impacts of different publication types in the same research area should be moderately or highly correlated. The paper aims to discuss these issues. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 To prove this hypothesis, the authors examine the correlation coefficient of citation impacts for different types of publications, in seven research areas of computer science, from 2000 to 2013. In particular, four related citation statistics are examined for each publication type, which are average citations per paper, average citations per year, average annual increase in individual h-index, and h-index. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Findings<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The analysis results show only a partial correlation in terms of several specific citation measures for different publication types in the same research area. Moreover, the level of correlation of the citation impact between different publication types is different, depending on the research area. <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n \u2013 The contribution of this paper is to investigate whether the research impact of different types of publications in the same area is correlated. The findings can help guide researchers and academics choose the most appropriate publication outlets.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/oir-11-2014-0273","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,5]],"date-time":"2015-06-05T08:42:30Z","timestamp":1433493750000},"page":"310-325","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Correlation analysis for comparison of the citation impact of journals, magazines, and conferences in computer science"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"Wei-Chao","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chih-Fong","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shih-Wen","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abramo, G.\n , \n Cicero, T.\n and \n D\u2019Angelo, C.A.\n (2014), \u201cAre the authors of highly cited articles also the most productive ones?\u201d, \n Journal of Informetrics\n , Vol. 8 No. 1, pp. 89-97.","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joi.2013.10.011"},{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Albarran, P.\n , \n Crespo, J.A.\n , \n Ortuno, I.\n and \n Ruiz-Castillo, J.\n (2010), \u201cA comparison of the scientific performance of the US and the European Union at the turn of the 21st century\u201d, \n Scientometrics\n , Vol. 85 No. 1, pp. 329-344.","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-010-0223-7"},{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bornmann, L.\n , \n Stefaner, M.\n , \n de Moya-Anegon, F.\n and \n Mutz, R.\n (2014), \u201cRanking and mapping of universities and research-focused institutions worldwide based on highly-cited papers\u201d, \n Online Information Review\n , Vol. 38 No. 1, pp. 43-58.","DOI":"10.1108\/OIR-12-2012-0214"},{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Coursaris, C.K.\n and \n Van Osch, W.\n (2014), \u201cA scientometric analysis of social media research (2004-2011)\u201d, \n Scientometrics\n , Vol. 101 No. 1, pp. 357-380.","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-014-1399-z"},{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"de Winter, J.C.F.\n , \n Zadpoor, A.A.\n and \n Dodou, D.\n (2014), \u201cThe expansion of Google Scholar versus Web of Science: a longitudinal study\u201d, \n Scientometrics\n , Vol. 98 No. 2, pp. 1547-1565.","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-013-1089-2"},{"key":"key2020122304554316600_b6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Didegah, F.\n and \n Thelwall, M.\n (2013), \u201cWhich factors help authors produce the highest impact research?
