Citation bias in published papers

[QUOTE="Vanadium 50, post: 6638608, member: 110252"] And even if you don't buy that - and I do - you certainly have to believe that people won't cite papers they are not aware of. This is, at least in part, a feature, not a bug. The government of China strongly encourages their scientists to publish in Chinese and Chinese language journals. They want Chinese to be the language of science going forward, as English is today, and German, French and Latin were in the past. Since many Western scientists can't read Chinese, the distributions evolve in the way you see. To my mind, the bigger issue with citations is people citing papers they haven't read. I know they do, because typos in the citation end up propagated from paper to paper. [/QUOTE]
