Abstract High-citation and low-citation of papers are both opposite and unified, universal phenomena in the science world. Although high-citation, due to its powerful positive guiding role, has received extensive attention from domestic and overseas scholars, we should not neglect the negative caution role of low-citation on scientific research’s quality and influence. In this study, we firstly clarified the background, related definitions, and significance of low-citation studies. Through comprehensively reading and analyzing all the related research literature on low-citation, we summarized four important research topics. They are the measurement of low-citation threshold and the percentages of lowly cited literature, time-changed patterns of low-citation rate, the determinants leading to low-citation and the prediction of the future value of lowly cited publications, and the application of the evaluation indicators related to low-citation. Finally, we further reviewed and commented on the development status and existing problems in the four above-mentioned important topics and proposed the future research plans and solutions for solving such problems. Our purpose is to provide a general picture of low-citation for readers who are interested in this topic.
