Abstract
This paper examined a core problem in citation analytics. The pertinence of citations made in introduction sections of scientific articles was studied. A brief exposition was made to provide insight on the methodology to compute pertinence. With the understanding from the exposition, mathematical expressions were derived and used to quantify pertinence. Pertinence of seventy randomly selected scientific articles was studied. Result showed that significant amount of citations made in introduction section of the studied articles are impertinent to the study.
