In Citation tracking by Xu CuiLeave a Comment

You might have noticed that the publications citing your products are mostly journal articles, but other types such as thesis/dissertation also frequently appear. So what are the percentage of each publication type?

Here we examined about 35,000 citations of a biotech company and here is the result:

Publication TypePercentage
Journal91.7%
Thesis4.4%
Preprint3.8%
Conference0.1%
Book0.1%
Award0.0%

As we can see, journal articles constitutes about 90% of all citations, and then thesis and preprint (e.g. biorxiv, medrxiv etc) each takes ~4%. There are also citations from conferences, books, and awards, but the number is very small.
