Calculadora de Tamanho de Artigo de Pesquisa — Formula

How to Estimate Citations Needed

The number of citations depends on paper length and academic level.

Formula

Total Citations = Pages x Citations per Page

Unique Sources = Total Citations x Unique Ratio

Guidelines by Level

  • Undergraduate: 2-3 citations per page, 8-15 total sources
  • Master's: 3-5 per page, 20-40 sources
  • Doctoral: 5+ per page, 50+ sources

    • Exemplo Resolvido

    10-page paper with 3 citations per page and 60% unique ratio.

    1. Total citations = 10 x 3 = 30
    2. Unique sources = round(30 x 0.6) = 18
    3. Average uses per source = 30 / 18 = 1.7
