ABSTRACT
This paper aims to explore the relationship between cited time lag and citing time lag of journal articles to provide a reference for researchers to carry out subsequent knowledge innovation. Based on the publication and citation data from the "Journal of the China Society for Scientific and Technical Information" (2012-2016), this paper employs descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression analysis to investigate the regular pattern of citing time lag, cited time lag and the relationship between them. The citing time lag and the cited time lag both show a right-skew distribution. The cited time lag of a paper is related to the factors such as the level of the university, collaboration situation, and funding support. The citing time lag of English paper is significantly negatively correlated with cited time lag.
