Several bibliometric studies have shown that international or multicountry papers are generally more cited than domestic or
single country papers. Does this also hold for the most cited papers? In this study, the citation impact of domestic versus
international papers is analyzed by comparing the share of international papers among the hundred most cited papers in four
research specialities, from three universities, four cities and two countries. It is concluded that international papers are
not well represented among high impact papers in research specialities, but dominate highly cited papers from small countries,
and from cities and institutions within them. The share of international papers among highly cited papers is considerably
higher during 2001–2008 compared to earlier years for institutions, cities and countries, but somewhat less for two of the
research fields and slightly higher for the other two. Above all, domestic papers from the USA comprise about half of the
highly cited papers in the research specialities. |
