我国情报学期刊论文零被引现象的计量分析——基于零被引与高被引论文的比较

Quantitative Analysis on the Journal Papers' Uncitedness of Information Science in China——Based on the Comparison of Un-cited and Highly Cited Papers

零被引现象正在引起学界的研究兴趣,但并未形成研究热点,与高被引论文相比,零被引论文仍需要更多的关注和探索。以CNKI收录的情报学期刊论文作为样本,借助于零被引论文与高被引论文的比较,多角度地展示我国情报学零被引现象及其规律,并试图寻找论文被引频次的影响因素。结果表明:我国情报学期刊论文零被引率高达40.36%,零被引率历时变化曲线呈"U"形;排除引用时滞对新近发表论文的影响,在较长的统计区间内(5年以上),论文的发表时间长短并不是影响被引频次的积极因素;论文被引频次与其下载频次的不一致反映出引用动机的复杂性,并不必然体现论文质量。

Uncitedness has aroused some attention, but it has not formed a research hotspot. Compared with the highly cit-ed papers, un-cited papers still need more attention and exploration. Taking journal papers included in CNKI in the field ofInformation Science as the sample, based on the comparison of un-cited papers and highly cited papers, this study has re-vealed the phenomenon and laws of uncitedness from multiple aspects, as well as explored the influencing factors to cita-tions. It has found that the uncitedness ratio is as high as 40.36% and it＇s time variation curve seems as ＂U＂. Exclude the in-fluence of citation time delay on the newly published papers, publication time is not a positive factor for citation frequency.The inconsistency of citation frequency and download frequency reflects the complexity of the citation motivation, but doesnot necessarily reflect papers＇ quality.
