In order to avoid the focus on statistically significant results based on the NHST (e.g., Salsburg, 1985; Masicampo and Lalande, 2012), the usual significance asterisks has been omitted in the table. Every |r| > 0.165 is significant on p < 0.05, |r| > 0.217 on p < 0.01 and every |r| > 0.275 on p < 0.001, two-tailed. N = 140. All variables are RIN transformed except ‘Free access’ before correlations were computed. GS, Google Scholar; WoS, Web of Science; Free availability, 1: Articles is freely available, 0: is not; position of 1st letter: Position of the first letter of the surname of the first author in the alphabet.
