The paper analyses the citation impact of Library and Information Science,LIS for short, research articles published in 31 leading international LISjournals in 2015. The main research question is: to what degree do authors'disciplinary composition in association with other content characteristics ofLIS articles affect their citation impact? The impact is analysed in terms ofthe number of citations received and their authority, using outliernormalization and subfield normalization. The article characteristics analysedusing quantitative content analysis include topic, methodology, type ofcontribution, and the disciplinary composition of their author teams. Thecitations received by the articles are traced from 2015 to May 2021. Citingdocument authority is measured by the citations they had received up to May2021. The overall finding was that authors' disciplinary composition issignificantly associated with citation scores. The differences in citationscores between disciplinary compositions appeared typically within informationretrieval and scientific communication. In both topics LIS and computer sciencejointly received significantly higher citation scores than many disciplineslike LIS alone or humanities in information retrieval, or natural sciences,medicine, or social sciences alone in scientific communication. The paper isoriginal in allowing joint analysis of content, authorship composition, andimpact.
