citation count; number of times cited
Technical term used in academic publishing, research evaluation, and bibliometrics to indicate how many times a work has been cited.
This paper has already been cited more than 100 times.
In evaluating researchers, the citation count of their papers is sometimes emphasized.
引用回数 is a simpler term for 'citation count' without the passive prefix 被, and is more common in everyday academic writing. 被引用回数 explicitly emphasizes being cited by others.
被引用数 is a shorter synonym with the same meaning, often used in graphs or tables where space is limited.
Compound of 被 (passive prefix) + 引用 (citation) + 回数 (number of times). The prefix 被 indicates the subject is the recipient of the action, forming a noun meaning 'the number of times (a work) is cited'.
