| Abstract: | Examines the citation patterns for scientific journal articles and discusses reasons for the skewed distributions of article citedness. Topics discussed include the article age distribution; citations to articles from single journals; citedness of articles written by the same author; possible model distributions of citedness; and citedness as an evaluation method.
