期刊排名对跨学科研究评价的影响研究

How Journal Ranking Can Influence Interdisciplinary Research Evaluation

以JCR的226个学科主题类(含SCI和SSCI)为基础,把JCR(2013)主题类中各期刊按影响因子排名分成四个百分位分区,并定义了跨学科期刊影响力指标(MV)用于评测跨学科期刊的学科影响力。研究结果表明:不同学科的期刊排名对跨学科研究评价的影响是不同的,在包含期刊数50以上的126个JCR主题类中有36个主题类其跨学科期刊在期刊排名中处于优势地位,18个处于劣势地位,其他未表现明显的优劣势。该研究建议在利用期刊排名进行绩效或科研奖励时应充分考虑到跨学科期刊在期刊排名的分布特性,有利于促进跨学科研究的健康发展。

The use of journal ranking （impact factor） in research evaluations has become increasingly popular. In this this , we collected some datas, which based on journal ranking containing in 226 JCR （2013 ） subject categories including SCI and SCI. Then we divide them into four percentile rank classes and define a new indicator （MV） for evaluating the interdisciplinary journals＂ influencing on each subject category. Some research results show that journal rankings in different subject categories have different effect on interdisciplinary research evaluation. For example, the interdisciplinary journals in 36 subject categories have an obvious benefit by journal ranking, while only in 18 subjects show a bias. However others subjects neither have a benefit nor a bias. This paper suggests that interdisciplinary journal distri- bution characteristics in journal ranking should be considered when the journal ranking is used in interdisciplinary research evaluation.
