基于PLS结构方程模型进行学术期刊评价的实证研究

An Empirical Study on the Evaluation of Academic Journals Based on PLS Structural Equation Model

文章用因子分析法对评价指标进行分类,构建PLS结构方程模型并对指标进行筛选,以图情类期刊为例对指标数据计算、分析和评价。研究结果表明,PLS的期刊评价和因子分析评价的结果一致性很高,PLS结构方程模型不仅能解决期刊评价指标之间存在多重共线性的问题,而且还能科学筛选评价指标,是进行学术期刊综合评价的一种十分有效的方法。

This paper classifies the evaluation indexes by factor analysis method,screens indexes by constructing the PLS structural equation model,and takes journals of library and information science as examples to calculate,analyze and evaluate indexes. Results of the PLS evaluation and factor analysis evaluation are highly consistent. The PLS structural equation model not only solves the problem of multicollinearity among the evaluation indexes of journals,but also scientifically screens the evaluation indexes,which is a very effective method for the comprehensive evaluation of academic journals.
