Abstract
This paper analyses the pattern of citations for papers published in 1990
across 6 MS/OR journals. A stochastic model is proposed which views
the generating mechanism of citations as a gamma mixture of Poisson
processes generating overall a negative binomial distribution. The model
is extended to include obsolescence, i.e., the citation rate for a paper
varies over its cited lifetime. The research then identifies specfic patterns
of behaviour such as sleeping beauties or shooting stars. Conclusions
concerning the predictability of future citations, and future research are
discussed.
