Number of citations per thesis

By measuring the impact of a published paper on other research, the number of citations is an indicator supporting that paper’s usefulness and reliability. Among those published by Glico researchers from 1988 to December 2017, the number of citations for first place is 652 - an exceptionally significant number relative to dozens of other papers whose citations merely exceed 100 times. This, then, is yet another indication that members of the Glico researchers write valuable research papers on a global scale.
■Reference: Journal Impact Factor
The Journal Impact Factor is an index used to measure the scale of impact of a research paper in a scientific publication. Even among all the papers published in Nature magazine that is one of the most frequently quoted scientific journals, the average number of references made in a period two years is - as of 2017 - only 40.137.
