Then the relevance of the topics was found through topic similarity calculation. With the topic popularity used as an internal indicator, the time of publication and the journals used as external evaluation indicators, a comparison analysis of zero-cited papers and high-cited papers was made by combining topical of the papers with external indicators.[Result/conclusion] The experimental results show that under the same research topic, the influence of the journal is the main reason that influences the citation of the paper; under different topics, the topic is the main reason leading to zero-cited papers.
