睡美人文献识别方法分析与改进构想

Analysis and Assumption of the Optimized Method of Identifying Sleeping Beauties in Science

[目的/意义]睡美人文献是指那些发表初期遭遇长时间的冷遇,随后突然引起广泛关注的文献。这些文献往往蕴含着重大科学发现,对其进行识别研究具有重大意义。通过对现有识别方法的梳理和分析,提出识别睡美人文献方法的改进思路和做法。[方法/过程]明确以高被引文献作为睡美人文献识别研究的对象,选取文献年被引频次累积变化趋势作为研究切入点,提出累积被引速度和累积被引加速度两个指标,明确自引的处理方法。[结果/结论]提出睡美人文献识别方法的改进思路与实证路线,在一定程度上优化了识别方法,同时为睡美人文献预测方法的研究提供一定的基础。

[ Purpose/significance ] A ＂sleeping beauty＂ in science refers to a paper that has the citation history of long hibernation followed by a sudden spike of popularity. That is to say, its significance is not recognized for several years after publication. The sleeping beauties tend to be associated with the most important scientific discoveries, so identifying these papers plays an important role in the study about the sleeping beauties in science. [ Method/process] This paper a- dopted the analysis method of literature. On the basis of grasping the existing methods of identification, this paper clarified the object of identification, selected the appropriate entry point,and introduced two new indicators. [ Result/conclusion] This paper offers a proposal of the improvement approach to optimize the method of identification.
