Abstract Citation takeoff is an important indicator that documents are widely adopted. Research on the distribution characteristics of citation takeoff is of great significance to explain the dynamic process of citations and provide a new perspective for scientific evaluation of literature. This study reveals the distribution features of citation takeoff comprehensively using statistical analysis, comparative analysis, and a distribution model based on the recognition of citation takeoff over the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) database from 1998 to 2018. The results show that most of the literature on Humanities and Social Sciences in China has only one takeoff and is mainly distributed within 0-3 years after publication; the first citation is often accompanied by citation takeoff. The proportional distributions of citation takeoff obey the exponential distribution, and the coefficient β indicates the concentration and dispersion of citation takeoff. There are differences in the distribution of citation takeoff in different disciplines, and the distribution model of different citations explains the internal mechanism of literature citations. The differences in different subjects provide references for knowledge classification, which also provide ideas for the new scientific evaluation indicators.
