论文的相关参数与被引频次的关系研究

Properties of Scholarly Papers and Number of Citations

【目的】研究论文的某些相关参数是否会影响被引频次。【方法】采用多种措施弱化非研究因素的干扰,并绘制研究因素与被引频次关系的各年代曲线,判断研究因素对被引频次的影响。【结果】作者人数、页码数、参考文献数和文摘长度与被引频次呈正相关,作者关键词数量和平均长度与被引频次无关,而不同的题名长度对被引频次的影响不同。【局限】由于数据采样条件限制,数据均采自SCIE这种高水平的论文数据库,且WOS分类为Engineering和Mechanical,所得结论不一定全部适用于其他主题的论文。【结论】论文的某些相关参数对论文的被引频次存在影响。

[Objective] To examine the ties between properties of scholarly papers and the number of citations they received. [Methods] First, we adopted various measurements to reduce the influence of irrelevant factors. Second, we drew trending lines to analyze the relationship between the target properties and the number of citations for a period of three years. [Results] There was positive correlation between some properties, such as the numbers of authors, pages and references, as well as the length of abstract, and the number of citations. In the meantime, there is no relationship between the number of keywords and the number of citations. The titles posed mixed effects to the number of citations. [Limitations] All samples were collected from the SCIE database in the fields of Engineering and Mechanical. We might not be able to get similar results from other areas. [Conclusions] Specific properties of the paper pose positive effects to the number of citations.
