Abstract

Blog posts aggregated at ResearchBlogging.org discuss scientific results and provide full bibliographic references to the reviewed articles. Articles reviewed in these blogs therefore receive "blog citations". We hypothesized that articles receiving blog citations near their publication time become more highly cited later on than the articles in the same journal published in the same year that did not receive such blog citations. Our results for articles published in 2009 support this hypothesis for some journals but not for others.
