SSCI收录期刊不同学科Article和Review参考文献量的差异性分析

Differences between Article and Review references in different subjects based on SSCI journals

【目的】以SSCI的学科分类为单位,分析不同学科期刊的Article和Review参考文献量的差异,以利于相关人员了解及借鉴,同时为进一步从文后参考文献的角度更深入了解现行期刊评价指标的优缺点提供数据支持。【方法】分学科下载2015年SSCI收录期刊的主要文献计量学指标,同时记录各刊在学科内的分区及各刊Article和Review的平均参考文献量,Spearman等级秩相关性分析用于分析各学科Article和Review的参考文献量与学科各评价指标的相关性。【结果】2015年SSCI共收录了57个学科的4468种期刊,Article和Review的参考文献量与学科规模的大小均不相关(均为P>0.05);学科内Article和Review的参考文献量由多到少排序,依次为Q1区(60.27条、86.85条)、Q2区(52.21条、83.80条)、Q3区(48.16条、74.61条)、Q4区(45.70条、62.90条),且差异均有统计学意义(均为P<0.05)。相关性分析结果表明,Article参考文献量仅与学科中位被引半衰期和学科中位引用半衰期存在相关性; Review参考文献量除与学科中位被引半衰期不存在相关性外,与其他主要期刊评价指标均有相关性(均为P<0.05)。【结论】按SSCI学科分组,Article和Review参考文献量与学科影响力的关系并不一致,二者与学科规模均不相关;同一学科影响力较大期刊的Article和Review参考文献量相对较多。

[ Purposes] Based on the subject classification of SSCI journals, the differences between Article and Review references in different subjects are analyzed to facilitate the relevant personnel to understand and draw lessons from them. It also provides data support for further understanding the advantages and disadvantages of current journal bibliometric indicators. [ Methods ] We downloaded the main bibliometric indicators of each journal in the 2015 SSCI by subject, and recorded the quartile in each subject and the average number of references in Article and Review. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the reference quantity of Article and Review in each subject and the bibliometric indicators of the discipline. E Findings] In 2015, SSCI indexed 4468 journals in 57 subjects. The amount of Article and Review references is not related to subject size （ both P〉0.05）. The number of references of Article and Review in the subject is in the same sequence： Q1 quartile （60.27, 86.85）〉Q2 quartile （ 52.21, 83.80） 〉Q3 quartile （ 48.16, 74.61 ） 〉Q4 quartile （ 45.70, 62.90 ）, and the differences are statistically significant （all P〈0.05 ）. Correlations analysis results show that the Article reference quantity is only related to the median cited half-life and the median citation half-life of the subject; the Review reference quantity is related to other major bibliometric indicators except the median cited half-life （all P〈 0.05 ）. E Conclusions ] According to the SSCI subject group, the relationship between Article and Review reference quantity and subject influence is not consistent, and the two are not related to the scale of the subject; the journals with higher academic influence in the same subject have relatively more references of Article and Review.
