慎重使用“影响因子”评价科技期刊

Be Careful to Ualuate Scie-tech Periodicals by Using “Impact Factor”

近年来科技期刊评价工作中存在着片面追求高影响因子、以影响因子高低对科技期刊排名的现象。本文结合大量实例 ,分析了与影响因子相关的一些客观因素 ,指出了这种评价方法的不合理之处。说明了科技期刊的学科不同 ,其影响因子有着较大的差别 ;同一期刊由于被收录的数据库不同 ,数据统计的结果也会明显不同 ;“被引用的总次数”是“正引” (肯定所引结果 )还是“负引” (否定所引结果 )、是“他引”还是“自引” ,在做统计时如果不加以区别 ,这样计算出来的影响因子就不能客观反映期刊的学术水平。并得出结论 :影响因子的高低并不能全面反映科技期刊学术质量的高低 ,应慎重使用“影响因子”

There is unilateral tendency to seek higher impact factor in valuation and giving order sci-tech periodicals.By using a number of examples,it is analyzed that some elements having close relationship with impact factor.It is unreasonable to valuate sci-tech periodicals by only using impact factor,because of there is big difference about impact factoring different branch of sci-tech periodicals,even if for the same journal,it is also difference in different datum.Impact factor cannot really indicate the level of sci-tech periodicals.
