# Corporate citation network: who cites research by companies

A citation network around corporate research in the 400 tracked journals: which companies' papers are cited, by which companies, institutions and countries, and what corporate papers cite in turn. A citation link is one paper citing another, both in the tracked journals (from OpenAlex references): the citing papers are those published since 2023, the cited ones any archived paper. A company is an institution OpenAlex classifies as a company. A link counts once for each company among the cited paper's affiliations, so a paper co-written by two companies counts for both, and once for each company, institution or country of the citing paper. OpenAlex sometimes lists one company under more than one record.

## Key findings

- Since 2023, papers in the tracked journals cite other archived papers 1,769,041 times; 52,450 of those links (3.0%) go to papers with an author at a company, which make up 2.6% of the archive.
- Tencent (China) is cited most (3,171 links to 403 of its papers), followed by Alibaba Group (China) (2,376) and Google (United States) (2,286).
- Universities build most on corporate research: 97% of the links to corporate papers come from papers with a university author, 7% from papers with a company author.
- Corporate papers cite corporate research more than others do: 12% of their links go to papers with a company author, against 3.0% of all links.
- Between two different companies, the largest flow is papers with Huawei Technologies (China) authors citing papers with Tencent (China) authors (25 links).
- Self-citation is rare: for the 20 most-cited companies, 1% of the links come from the company's own papers.
- The institutions citing corporate research most are Chinese Academy of Sciences (1,739), Tsinghua University (1,163) and Zhejiang University (1,087).
