h-index在人文社会科学领域成果评价中的适用性探讨

Applicability of h-index in Humanities and Social Sciences Achievements Evaluation

以上海交通大学的Academic Ranking of World University(ARWU)人文社会科学领域排名前50位的研究机构为研究对象,以Web of Science为统计数据来源,应用统计学原理和方法分析h-index与ARWU排名中的各项评价指标以及与传统的文献计量指标之间的关联性,结果表明:h-index与ARWU的核心指标、与论文发表总数和被引频次都有着很强的关联性,总被引频次和单篇引用频次分别符合Hirsch模型和Glanzel-Shubert模型,并实际计算出两个模型中的参数α和c。总之,为h-index在人文社会科学领域的适用性研究提供进一步的实证。

Abstract Regarding the top 50 research institutions of ARWU （Academic Ranking of World University） published by Shanghai Jiao Tong University as research object and the data of Web of Science as statistical source, this paper analyzes the association between h-index, ARWU evaluation indexes and traditional bibliometrics indexes. The results show that both h-index and core indexes of ARWU are associated with total articles published and total cites, total cites and single cite respectively fit Hirsch model and Glanzel-Shubert model. Finally it calculates their parameter α and c in two models, to provide the empirical basis for the theoretical study of applicability of h-index in humanities and social sciences.
