引文位置时序变化研究及其认知解释

A Study on Timing Variations in Citations Position and Its Cognitive Interpretation

对SCI文章评价体现中"引文均等"假设的质疑开启并推动了引文动机认知本质的探索,不断出现的相关研究及其所提出的假设、概念与实验性动机模型逐渐汇聚并显露出一个认知导向引文动机理论的雏形。在此基础上,首先对20世纪60年代以来引文动机认知理论进行梳理的同时,对这些引文动机在认知基础上进行分析归类,进而对若干学术文章被其他文章引用的位置变化进行研究,研究结果表明学术文章在施引文章中的引用位置是随时间推移有规律的变化,进而对这种规律产生的原因在认知范畴中进行了讨论,并以此作为下一步认知导向引文动机理论体系构建的起点。

The questioning of Citation Equal assumptions in SCI literature evaluation started and promoted an exploration of the cognitive nature of citation motivation. The development of related research, assumptions, concepts and experimental motivation model promoted the formation of the embryonic form of the theory of cognition-oriented citations motivation. On this basis, first, we analyzed and classi- fied the citations motivation cognition theory since 1960s. Second, we found the position change rule on timing variations by numbers of scholarly articles referenced by other articles. At last, as a starting point of building citation motivation theory system, we discussed the causes of this rule from a cognitive perspective.
