Most universities require researchand publication of their faculty for tenure and promotion. To be successful in this process, acandidate needs to show impact. This impact is usually heavily based on citation metrics. Whilethere is a push from some, such as those in the open scholarship movement to change thispractice and put value on other metrics of impact [3], it remains a heavy driver at most academicinstitutions, meaning citation practices have broad impact on who gets recognition in academia[4].
