Keywords:
Citation analysis, Recnecy, Weighted recency, Average weighted recency, Recency Index, Citation patternAbstract
The aim of this paper is to study recency, weighted recency and average weighted recency of the cited items in the articles published in the Journal of Algebra and Discrete Mathematics during the period from 2010 to 2012 by using statistical methods based on sampling. This study reveals that the average weighted recency of the citations of the articles published in 2011 are more than those of the other two years. (cf. the bar diagram is in the page 15). This indicates that the articles published in 2011 are of more recent origin than those of other two years.
