Fig 6. Raw citation counts and RCRs are related to research activity levels.

Fig 6

(A) RCR values were calculated approximately 8 years after the papers were published but RCR values and 2-year raw citation numbers were very highly correlated, r(86) = 0.96, and both raw citation numbers and RCR values increased as activity levels increase. (B) Publications reporting positive, statistically significant results were more highly cited than studies reporting negative, non-statistically significant results, and those differences were still evident even with article-level normalized RCR values.
