A probe into the citation patterns of high-quality and high-impact publications.&nbsp;<em>Malaysian Journal of Library &amp; Information Science</em>,&nbsp;<em><span lang="EN-MY">Vol.19, no. 2: 17-33.</span></em></p><p><em>Enlightened by Avramescu’s studies, we classified the citation patterns of high-quality and highimpact&nbsp;</em><em>publicationsinto five mathematical types: lognormal type, exponential-type, polynomialtype,&nbsp;</em><em>wave-type and sleeping-beauty. Based on practical datasets of high-quality and high-impact&nbsp;</em><em>publications, the five types of citation patterns are fitted well at statistical level. The results reveal&nbsp;</em><em>that high-quality publications usually appear irregular citation curves (wave-type and sleepingbeauty)&nbsp;</em><em>and high-impact publications tend to show regular ones (lognormal-type, exponential-type&nbsp;</em><em>and polynomial-type).</em></p><p><em><span lang="EN-MY">&nbsp;</span></em></p> ER -
