Citation analysis is typically conducted when a faculty member is up for tenure review.  Counts are used to indicate the number of times a work has been cited, known as "times cited".   The more counts a work has, the more significant the article becomes  in the field.  Because of this, it can be helpful to use such articles in your research as it will offer strong support and credibility.
