Abstract

Introduction: The publication of articles on the circular economy has different associated factors to explain the citations registered in the Web of Science.

Method: Articles from the publishers Elsevier, MDPI, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, and Springer Nature were evaluated.

Results: It was expected that the older the article was, the more citations it had received, but this was not always the case. It was also recognized that there was a lower number of citations if the articles were too large or if they had too many references.

Discussion: This analysis helps to establish the factors that must be addressed in order to publish in journals that have a high citation rate. Conclusion: Based on speci?c articles and with speci?c references, it will be possible to increase the probability of citations.

Keywords: Web of Science; articles; circular economy; citations; modeling.
