Abstract
Due to the increasing amount of scientific work and the typical delays in publication, assessing the impact of scholarly work is a huge challenge. The goal of this paper is to find out the association between Facebook and citation pattern for scholarly articles. The study was carried out to analyze the most prolific authors of 2014 from the document World’s Most Influential Scientific Minds 2014 from four subject domains Clinical Medicine, Microbiology, Molecular Biology and Neuroscience, and around 4886 papers and 719 most prolific authors were identified and their facebook and citation count studied. From the study, it was found out that articles of the most prolific authors have a strong correlation with citation whereas the association between the number of articles published by these prolific authors and the number of Facebook count they have received are not dependent on each other.
