Use and breakdown of '피인용'
I was reading an article which included '논문 피인용 수 등을'. I know 논문 is thesis or dissertation and '수' is number of but i can't find a concrete definition of 피인용.

Naver shows 피 an affix 'being the subject of an act' and 용 a suffix 'an object used for something or an object for that person', but I am still struggling to put a definition together.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!
