Increase in citations in the Virtus Interpress journals

Dear colleagues – members of Virtus international scholar network!

The editorial team of Virtus Interpress is grateful to you as members of our international scholar network for your commitment to the scholarly research and interest in the papers published in our journals. We realize our role to contribute to improving the papers through reviewing, editing and its disseminating within the international network of scholars in various ways, for example, our conferences or thematic collections of papers we compose and distribute systematically.

We measure the progress in this field also through monitoring citations of the papers published in our journals. The editorial team of Virtus Interpress entirely considers paper citation as a very important issue for our authors with regard to their reputation as scholars and a key issue of their professional success.

On November 10, 2017, we monitored the progress in citing the most cited 50 papers published in Corporate Ownership and Control journal for last 5 months. Below is a comparative list of papers with reference to its Google Scholar citations for that period of time. As you see more than 80 percent of papers reported an increase in citations and for many papers number of citations increased by 20-30 percent for last 5 months. We see that most papers published in Corporate Ownership and Control (not just these 50 most cited papers) gained more citations too and we aspire to keep this pace in the future.

Therefore, we would like to take this chance and address our appreciation to all those scholars who found these papers useful in their research. We keep on moving in the way of each member of our international scholarly network.
