中文期刊与中文引文数据库错引识别方法与成因解析——以2005年《中华妇产科杂志》的CSCD错引文献为例

Study on identification method and cause of citation error in Chinese journals and Chinese citation database:A case study of mis-cited documents of Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2005 within CSCD

【目的】解析中文学术期刊与中文引文数据库中错误引文的特征、成因与影响,以引起中文学术期刊编辑部与数据库编制机构对错误引文现象的重视,并为相关学者进一步研究错引现象提供方法论方面的借鉴。【方法】通过文献调研,以2005年《中华妇产科杂志》的中国科学引文数据库错引文献为例,讨论了中文期刊与中文引文数据库中错误引文的识别方法,初步研究了该现象的成因及影响。【结果】引文数据库中错误引文分为作者错著与数据库错标两种情况,陌生情境引用、字型或拼音编码相近、著录规则理解性偏差等因素均有可能导致引文错著;引用关系匹配算法的缺陷、施引文献作者的卷码著录遗漏及数据库信息导入方法的不完善是数据库错标型错引记录产生的主要原因。【结论】各方面应共同努力推动建立涵盖科学共同体所有利益相关主体在内的错误引文报告机制抑控错误引文的发生。

[Purposes] This paper aims to analyze distribution characteristics,causing reasons and impacts of citation error in Chinese academic journals and Chinese citation database for the purpose of arising attention for editorial departments of Chinese academic journals and citation database providers and reference to further study on the phenomenon for scholars in the respect of methodology.[Methods] Based on the case study of mis-cited documents of Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and G ynecology in 2005 in Chinese Science Citation Database,identification methods of citation error in Chinese journals and Chinese citation database were discussed,and causes and impacts of citation error were studied preliminarily by literature research.[Findings] Citation errors are caused by author or database.Citation of unfamiliar subject,similar Chinese character or phonetic and misunderstanding of citation rules may lead to the citation error by author.While,major reasons for errors in database come from citation matching algorithm deficiency,volume number omission of citing reference,and mechanism defect of data import.[Conclusions] Citation error supervisory regime oriented to all entities in scientific community should be constructed to avoid errors in citation.
